However\, food not only impacts what we eat.  The complex realities behind what it takes to produce\, distribute\, and access healthy food – our food systems-  also impact the health of communities at scale.   Recent federal proposals to cut or restrict SNAP benefits and other nutrition assistance programs highlight a deeper vulnerability in the nation’s food and health infrastructure. Addressing diet-related disease\, health inequities\, and rising healthcare costs requires investing upstream in the food system itself. \n\n\n\nDuring this session\, participants will: \n\n\n\n\nExplore how  food systems impact health beyond diet and consumption; \n\n\n\nExamine how SNAP and nutrition program pressures are reshaping the landscape;\n\n\n\nHear a case study of a SAFSF member foundation that has integrated food system strategies into its health portfolio; \n\n\n\nIdentify practical entry points for health funders seeking to move beyond food access programs toward deeper systems change\n\n\n\n\nParticipants will also learn how Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders (SAFSF) supports a community of more than 120 funders working at the intersection of food\, agriculture\, climate\, and health. For health funders seeking to address root causes rather than symptoms\, food and agriculture funding offers a powerful and underutilized strategy. \n\n\n\nOpen to all funders!

As millions of people were left without food support for weeks\, the National Black Food & Justice Alliance (NBFJA)\, a coalition of over 60 Black-led organizations representing hundreds of Black urban and rural farmers\, organizers\, and land stewards\, mobilized mutual aid resources to communities across the U.S. and released the Peoples Statement on the SNAP Halt. Although the federal shutdown ended and SNAP benefits resumed\, the lessons from this moment remain critical for food sovereignty. For many organizers\, farmers\, and land stewards who work with food-insecure communities\, this is not about returning to normal. It’s about continuing to build power that endures beyond state failure. \n\n\n\nWhen our ability to eat depends on political negotiations\, hunger becomes a tool of governance. Hunger IS political violence. The opportunity before us is to not only continue to demand permanent legislative action that safeguards SNAP and guarantees that\, in the future\, benefits continue without lapse and cover all eligible households\, but also to build food and land infrastructures rooted in community control\, mutual care\, and self-determination. Join this session to hear from members of NBFJA as they share stories and strategies to bring about sustainable systemic changes.  \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\nCicely Garrett\, National Black Food & Justice Alliance\, Co-Executive Director\n\n\n\nDuron Chavis\, Happily Natural\, Farmer\, Founder & Director\n\n\n\nM.

Recognizing the far-reaching implications of SNAP for food security\, health\, and economic equity\, this Working Group serves as an information hub and a strategic coordination space\, designed to help funders act quickly\, effectively\, and in alignment with one another. Previous Working Group calls have highlighted advocacy\, training and technical assistance\, strategic communications\, and food security data collection opportunities for funders\, as well as information about SNAP food restriction waivers.  \n\n\n\nOne year after the passage of H.R. 1\, analysis from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities finds that at least 1.5 million fewer children — and more than 4.5 million fewer people overall — are receiving SNAP food assistance. SNAP participation has dropped in every state except Alaska\, and by as much as 10 percent in some states. The harms to communities will continue to grow as states fully implement eligibility restrictions. This Working Group Call will provide a space for funders to share where they are focusing efforts\, where they see the biggest funding gaps\, and where there are opportunities to align with other funders. We will also use this time to gather input on future discussion topics and determine the Working Group meeting cadence going forward. \n\n\n\nThis Working Group is open to all funders currently responding to or actively considering a response to SNAP cuts. Funders do not need to be members of SAFSF or GIH. If you are wrestling with the impact of SNAP cuts on the communities you serve\, this space is for you. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Funder-Only Registration\n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n InstagramThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.This field is hidden when viewing the formRegisterName*\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n Organization*Title*Email*\n \n Are you a funder?*\n \n Yes\, I am affiliated with a funding organization.\n SAFSF defines funders as staff\, board members\, trustees\, donors\, program officers\, and other professionals from organizations using grantmaking or investments as a core strategy to fulfill their mission.\nThis field is hidden when viewing the formEvent Name\nIt may take longer than expected to process your submission\, please only click submit once.

New U.S.-focused research published in the American Journal of Public Health links UPF consumption to chronic disease\, cognitive impairment\, and addiction — and exposes how major tobacco companies engineered the modern UPF industry. As we learn more about the dangers that UPFs pose to public health and confront the corporate influence that makes them readily available\, the need for public education and policy change becomes increasingly urgent. \n\n\n\nIn response\, a growing movement of funders\, together with doctors\, scientists\, educators\, and policy advocates\, launched FedUp! to realize a shared vision: a nation nourished by real food\, not UPFs. This science-first public education movement translates UPF research for families\, communities\, and policymakers\, promotes innovative collaboration among individuals and institutions\, supports results-driven grantmaking\, and offers a trusted platform for new philanthropic investment in this space. \n\n\n\nJoin this webinar to hear from expert scientists about how corporations have intentionally shaped the systems\, products\, and narratives behind UPFs\, the policy reform landscape\, and how to get involved with FedUP! \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\nRachel Roller\, President and Chief Executive Officer\, Dohmen Company Foundation (Moderator)\n\n\n\nKelly D.

These calls are focused on connection and continuing dialogue on topics explored in virtual learning events and other programs hosted by SAFSF during the month.  \n\n\n\nWe want to hear what’s top of mind for you\, what you are wrestling with\, and what topics you want to explore deeper. Each call will have a different topic. \n\n\n\nSAFSF members are automatically enrolled in Gather Round meetings\, and will see the calendar invitations. If you do not\, email membership@safsf.org to receive access.  URL:https://www.agandfoodfunders.org/event/gather-round-monthly-membership-call-6/ CATEGORIES:Gather Round,Member Only,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.agandfoodfunders.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Gather-Round.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
