Funder Call Recording: Engaging Funder Networks and Collaboratives in Policy and Advocacy
Funder networks and collaboratives provide the opportunity for philanthropy to create a greater impact in communities through advocacy and policy. However, when each foundation has its own advocacy priorities, it can be difficult to create a common agenda for the funder network or collaborative.

Health System Funders for Housing Justice
The Health System Funders for Housing Justice is generously supported by CommonSpirit Health.
Overview
During COVID, we have seen how important housing is to allow people to safely social distance from others and practice safe hygiene activities, such as handwashing, in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Given that an analysis on unemployment projects a 40-45% increase in homelessness, it will take coordinated, collaborative efforts to prevent people from becoming homeless, to support the healthcare needs of people currently experiencing homelessness, and to move people experiencing homelessness into safe, stable housing.
Funders Together to End Homelessness, with the generous support of CommonSpirit Health, is launching the Health System Funders for Housing Justice, which will center on the inextricable link between healthcare and homelessness systems and the belief that housing is healthcare.
Network Goals
Health System Funders for Housing Justice participants will:
- Map out and prioritize opportunities for health systems to have an impact on the homelessness system at state and national levels
- Create an action agenda for the network that includes investment opportunities, advocacy and policy priorities, and partnership recommendations
- Build trust and a structure among participants for sustained collaboration after Funders Together’s facilitation formally ends
Who should participate?
This network is open to health systems interested in coordinating resources and strategies to better prevent and end homelessness. Individual participants must meet the following criteria:
- Believe that housing is healthcare and understand how homelessness and housing instability affect health outcomes.
- Have positional authority in their organization to direct or influence how investments are made at a regional or national level.
- Have positional authority in their organization to engage in or direct the engagement of policy and advocacy activities.
- Be able and willing to meet the participant expectations outlined below.
Participant Expectations
The success of this community of practice depends on the full commitment of each participant. While we understand that conflicts will always arise, we also hope participants will commit to:
- Participating in a pre-survey, an intake interview, and other periodic check-in calls with facilitators.
- Attending monthly videoconference meetings and biannual virtual convenings.
- Sharing and learning in real time with peers and colleagues.
How to Join
If you are interested in joining the Health System Funders for Housing Justice or have any questions about the network, please reach out to Tabitha Blackwell at tabitha@funderstogether.org.

Voices for Justice In the Movement to End Homelessness
As part of our Commitment to Racial Equity and in light of the racial justice awakening in this country, Funders Together is sharing statements, articles, and other resources that highlight the voices of Black leaders in the fields of philanthropy, homelessness, and intersecting systems. While it’s important for white leaders to speak up, we can further our commitments to racial equity by listening to, learning from, and incorporating the recommendations of Black leadership into not only our grantmaking but also into the structures of our organizations.
Funders Together features these statements in bi-monthly emails. To be added to that mailing list, please email Lauren Samblanet at lsamblanet@funderstogether.org. These emails are only available for members of Funders Together, private funders, United Ways, corporate giving programs, and philanthropy-serving organizations.
This page will be continually updated to include each statement that we highlight.

Read Tony's blog post.True Colors United for Black Lives
In the youth and young adult homelessness space, we often hear the phrase nothing about us without us, which means that youth and young people with lived expertise of homelessness should not just be included in the designing of solutions to homelessness, but also have real decision-making power. True Colors United, a Funders Together partner, put this important value into practice in both the process used to create their statement, True Colors United for Black Lives, and in the statement’s content.

Webinar Archive: Ending Homelessness Means Ending Urban Native Homelessness
We know that people of color face disproportionate levels of homelessness. In some areas, like Seattle, WA, American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) are seven times more likely to experience homelessness than their white counterparts. Moreover, American Indians/Alaska Natives are least likely to be referred to housing and least likely to be accepted to housing when referred.
