December Health Funders Learning Community Call
December 5, 2024 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am PST
Join us Thursday, December 5 for our next Health Funders Learning Community call. This SAFSF member-only call is an excellent opportunity to connect with fellow members funding at the intersection of health, agriculture, and food systems and engage in a meaningful discussion around specific challenges in funding health solutions.
In November, SAFSF and Detroit Black Food Sovereignty Network (DBCFSN) co-hosted a powerful one-day event called “Health And Wealth: Fostering Healthy Communities and Economic Self-Determination through Food Systems.” The event convened funders, community leaders, and advocates at the Detroit Food Commons, a community-owned grocery store and multi-use facility developed by DBCFSN—to explore the intersection of health equity, sustainable economic growth, and community self-determination.
The event highlighted the transformative potential of community-led food systems in addressing systemic inequities, including health outcomes. Attendees engaged with themes such as health and wealth disparities impacting frontline communities, the importance of community-driven solutions, and the essential role funders must play in driving long-term, systemic change. By showcasing actionable strategies and on-the-ground examples, this event equipped funders and partners with the tools to support community-led food systems, while advancing health equity, economic empowerment, and food justice through the lens of sovereignty.
The Health Funders Learning Community call in December will provide a space to share out and reflect on the insights from this event. Attendees will share key takeaways, and invite peers who were not in attendance to reflect on how funding for health equity can connect to community self-determination and economic development.
This is an SAFSF member-only call. If you are interested in exploring membership, please contact Holly Enowski, Senior Membership Associate
