Early Relational Health (ERH) Funders Community 2026 Summit
March 2-4, 2026 / Austin, TX
Thank you for your interest in the Early Relational Health (ERH) Funders Community 2026 Summit.
The 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.
Launched in 2021 by Einhorn Collaborative, the Community that began with just two dozen funders has grown to more than 300 individuals united by a shared commitment to early relational health.
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.
We will be hosting our annual in-person gathering for 2026 in Austin, TX, March 2-4. 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.).
We look forward to seeing you in Austin in March!
