Lead Funders Action Network

 

Lead poisoning is a ubiquitous, yet solvable threat to children’s health and well-being. The disease affects hundreds of thousands of children each year with tragic consequences for their school performance and success in life. Foundations are increasingly engaging in policy-and systems-level change to advance their health equity goals. One way to amplify these efforts is through partnerships across grantmaking organizations.             

The  Lead Funders Action Network brings together national, regional, state, and local foundations who are working collaboratively and strategically to address gaps in the field of childhood lead poisoning and make philanthropic investments more synergistic to advance the prevention of the disease. The explicit charge of the group is to identify tangible and practical ways to work collaboratively and strategically to address gaps in the field of childhood lead poisoning and make philanthropic investments more synergistic to advance the prevention of the disease.
