The Early Relational Health (ERH) Funders Community is a growing network of foundation executives and program officers who recognize the importance of strong, positive, and nurturing parent-child relationships in advancing their missions and philanthropic strategies. If you are part of the staff or board of a foundation (or other funding entity – private or public), you are welcome to participate in activities of the ERH Funders Community.
The ERH Funders Community 2026 Summit is a multi-day in-person gathering in Austin, TX, March 2-4, 2026. The purpose of the Summit is to make connections with ERH Funder peers and together find areas of shared interest and potential opportunities for collaboration that advance our individual strategies and ERH overall.
This year’s Summit is designed to inspire and challenge our thinking as leaders in ERH philanthropy. Alongside keynote addresses and experiential learning, we will also have opportunities for peer-to-peer discussions around advancing specific issue areas within ERH (e.g., pediatrics, prenatal, community health workers, policy, child welfare, etc.).
