LEaP Lab: A Foundation’s Path to Power Building and Health Equity

Lessons from The California Endowment’s Building Healthy Communities Initiative

In September 2021, CSSP hosted a virtual, interactive Learning, Equity, and Power (LEaP) Lab for funders to join a conversation with experts to discuss the importance of racial equity in efforts to advance health equity and the role that funders can play in the power building ecosystem. This session, which is part of the larger LEaP initiative, highlights lessons and insights from The California Endowment’s Building Healthy Communities. This LEaP Lab features:

• Jennifer Ito, Research Director, USC Equity Research Institute
• Tia Martinez, CEO, Forward Change
• Lauren Padilla-Valverde, Director, Racial Equity Practice & Culture, The California Endowment
