Public health is universal–or at least it should be. But since the pandemic, it's been politicized in ways that threaten critical work in conservative communities. Abdul reflects on how the way we talk about public health may be contributing to that. Then he sits down with Dr. Dwayne Proctor, President and CEO of the Missouri Foundation for Health to learn about the pioneering work they sponsor in Missouri, and what we can learn from their experiences.

We've talked about how private foundations can fund advocacy, but we are frequently asked what they can do themselves to push for policy change in the communities they serve. On this episode, we cover the do's and don'ts of private foundation advocacy. Attorneys for this episode Tim Mooney Natalie Ossenfort Quyen Tu Shownotes We'll get to the do's in a bit, but first the don'ts – don't support or oppose candidates for public office and don't engage in any activity that meets the definition of lobbying. IRS rules - 501(h) definitions apply (direct & grassroots lobbying) Any expenditure that meets the definition (paid staff or earmarked grant) Consequence – excise taxes 20% of the amount spent is assessed on the foundation 5% of the amount expended (up to a maximum of $10,000 for a single expenditure) is assessed on a foundation manager if they "knowingly, willfully and without reasonable cause" agreed to the lobbying expenditure There are plenty of things private foundations can do that are similar to lobbying or excepted from lobbying – it's not worth getting the excise tax! The do's - options for private foundations Non-lobbying advocacy Activity that does not have all of the elements of either direct or grassroots lobbying within the 501(h) definitions Meeting with legislators? Don't advocate for specific legislation. Instead, speak about the issues within your portfolio broadly, and to the successes your funding has had. If asked what your stance is on a pending bill, do not answer (“It's a trap!”) because that becomes direct lobbying. Communicating with the public? Here you can boldly promote your stance on legislation so long as you don't include a call to action, urging the public to contact legislators. This is a very underutilized option! Ballot measures? Remember advocacy on these is direct lobbying so it's best to avoid advocating on these as a private foundation. Educating without urging a vote one way or another avoids the excise tax. Other forms of nonlobbying advocacy Regulatory advocacy Advocacy before special purpose boards (i.e. school boards, water districts, etc.) Convening decisionmakers to discuss a policy topic Sign onto an amicus brief or otherwise participate in litigation Education campaigns Lobbying exceptions Nonpartisan Analysis, Study or Research Content: full and fair analysis Distribution: broad public distribution and/or to government officials or employees Can take a stance on legislation Often print reports, but don't have to be Watch out for subsequent use rule Earmarking a grant for this is also not lobbying Annie E. Casey Foundation uses this exception a lot. Examples include advocating for expanding the Child Tax Credit, policy proposals (some that would require legislation) around student debt. They also earmark funds for reports done by grantees that fit in this exception, which is effectively the same as doing it themself. Missouri Foundation for Health is kind of a bank shot example because technically it is a (c)(4) but because of a court settlement agreement going back to the tobacco litigation, it operates under private foundation rules. It commissioned a series of studiesand came out strongly in favor of Medicaid expansion in MO as a part of it. This all snugly fits in the exception. Last example comes from DC and the Bainum Family Foundation. It commissioned a reportto document the shortage of high quality subsidized child care for those under 3 in lower income communities of Wards 7 and 8 of DC. The report was the basis of an entire campaign to advocate for a change in laws before the DC Council (which was successful!). Requests for Technical Assistance Providing information to legislative committees when invited is not lobbying Must be invited in writing Must be invited by the chair of the committee, subcommittee, or body Self-Defense Narrow exception – if there's a pending bill that would impact the rights or responsibilities of private foundations, lobbying for or against the bill doesn't count. Examinations and Discussions of Broad Social, Economic and Similar Problems Taking a stance on the general subject of legislation, without taking a stance on any legislation itself is not lobbying This is a bit of a tightrope (remember our “it's a trap!” example) Resources Lobbying Defined for Private Foundations Private Foundations May Advocate Be Bold and Advocate Rules for Foundations Engaging in Advocacy in TX Philanthropy Advocacy Playbook

This week’s episode is all about masks -- the many varied reasons we have for wearing them, the uncertainty many of us felt around them in the early days of the pandemic, and most of all, the very real and intense emotion that often surrounds them. Part 1: In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sean Wellington is reluctant to wear a mask at first — until he discovers an unconventional reason to. Part 2: Dealing with mask-resistant patients prompts pediatrician Ken Haller to reflect on his experience with a past pandemic, and how it has shaped his approach. Sean Wellington lives in Chapel Hill, NC but is at heart a New Yorker, where he grew up. He has been teaching in classrooms and performing on stages for more than two decades (on five different continents!) Last year he founded GRIT: True Stories that Matter, which produces weekly events, ongoing workshops and a weekly podcast by the same name. When he is not immersed in story, he enjoys Cuban salsa dancing and tries to finally learn the damned piano. Ken Haller, MD, is a Professor of Pediatrics at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine and SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. He is Past President of the Missouri Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and he has served on the board of the Missouri Foundation for Health. He currently serves on the Arts and Education Council of Greater St. Louis where he helped to create the new Arts and Healing Initiative to fund arts and medical organizations that utilize the arts to promote health and healing. He is also a writer, actor, and cabaret artist who has performed in cities including New York, San Francisco, Denver, and Chicago, and Ken has twice been named Best St. Louis Cabaret Artist by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He appears regularly in local and national media to advocate for child health, LGBTQ health issues, and the arts, and his special interests include expanding health care for marginalized communities, ameliorating toxic stress in children, and educating the medical community and the general public about cultural competency, health literacy, vaccine hesitancy, the relationship of medicine to the arts, the effects of media on children, and the special health needs of LGBTQ youth.

Across the metro area, residents of both Missouri and Illinois should start expecting a letter in their mailboxes that only makes its appearance once every 10 years. Forms for the 2020 census are expected to begin to arrive March 12. Host Sarah Fenske delves into why filling out the census is important, what’s different on this year’s form, and how the coronavirus pandemic could affect population counts. Joining the discussion to answer questions about the process and address potential concerns is Alex Rankin. She is Missouri Foundation of Health's interim director of health policy and is running the organization’s efforts to promote the 2020 census.
In January, St. Louis’ regional transit agency considered taking on operation of the embattled Loop Trolley — and ultimately declined to do so. At this month’s meeting of the Bi-State Development board, a totally different project’s future will come before the agency: the two shipping-container-sized grocery stores located along MetroLink in north St. Louis County. The stores are operated by a nonprofit subcontractor, Link Market, which formed about two years ago. They were funded by a grant Bi-State was awarded from the Missouri Foundation for Health and meant to be a pilot project addressing the region’s food deserts. But this past summer, as reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Tony Messenger, Link Market founder Dr. Jeremy Goss learned Bi-State had concerns about their financial viability. After a meeting of various parties in St. Louis County Executive Sam Page’s office, the shipping-container markets got an extension from Bi-State. And as the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Andrew Nguyen explains in this segment in conversation with Goss and host Sarah Fenske, Bi-State’s board should vote Feb. 21 on a proposal to donate the shipping containers to the Link Market.
As a pediatrician who is also an accomplished cabaret artist, Ken Haller says he may play several roles over the course of a day: teacher, doctor, friend, singer. He says those roles are all different aspects of his chief pursuit: being a healer.
