Yesterday, the 2026 LA2050 Grants Challenge brought together philanthropic partners and community organizations to recognize local initiatives addressing some of Los Angeles’ most pressing priorities, from affordable housing and community safety to health care, youth opportunity, and economic mobility and empowerment.

PVBLIC Foundation is proud to join the Goldhirsh Foundation and fellow philanthropic partners in supporting this year’s initiative, which is expected to direct approximately $3 million in funding to 52 organizations across Los Angeles.

Justin Markell, Director of Media at PVBLIC Foundation, represented the Foundation at the event, following the Executive Director of the LA Dodgers Foundation. He underscored our commitment to supporting community-led organizations through the power of storytelling.

“We have a special surprise for five organizations here whose storytelling really stood out to us. Each will receive up to $75,000 in AI-driven media technology access, education, and community of support to help them on their journey,” he announced. “As part of this partnership, through our ONE 100 initiative, PVBLIC will contribute storytelling and media amplification expertise to strengthen and amplify their reach and impact.

During the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly, PVBLIC Foundation convened the 2026 Global Health Futures Forum (GHFF) at UN Headquarters in New York, bringing together leaders from government, healthcare, technology, investment, philanthropy, and international organizations to explore the future of global health.

Building on three years of work through the Health Equity Forum, this year’s discussions examined the infrastructure needed to strengthen health systems, the role of AI and innovation in expanding access to care, government leadership in times of crisis, and the influence of culture, mental health, and sport in shaping healthier communities.

With contributions from partners including PEAK4, Novartis, Helfie AI, and Akkad Holdings, the Forum highlighted the importance of connecting expertise, technology, and capital with the priorities of communities and health systems.

From innovation to implementation, GHFF 2026 reinforced the need for collaboration across sectors to build more resilient, accessible, and equitable healthcare systems.

COX, a global company of Spanish origin specializing in water and energy, was a key partner of this edition. Its work delivering sustainable infrastructure and solutions across the Americas, Europe, Africa and the Middle East speaks directly to two of the region’s central questions: how to accelerate the energy transition, and how to manage a resource as strategic as water efficiently.

PVBLIC Foundation traveled to North Carolina to formalize a new partnership with the Lumbee Tribe, which recently secured full federal recognition.

The Memorandum of Understanding was signed by Tribal Chairman John L. Lowery, Speaker Alex Baker, and PVBLIC Foundation Executive Chairman Sergio Fernández de Córdova, joined by President Stephen Keppel and Global Advisor Danial Siddiqui.

Grounded in respect for Tribal sovereignty and self-determination, the partnership supports development guided by the Tribe’s leadership and community priorities. Our approach draws on best practices from our work with sovereign governments, including Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and the ABAS Centre of Excellence.

The visit included tours of Tribal lands and community facilities, and conversations with community representatives about the priorities shaping the Tribe’s next chapter.

At the Cumbre de Impacto Iberoamericano (CII) at the United Nations Headquarters during the 81st Session of the UN General Assembly, Gustavo González de Vega, Deputy Minister of Economy and Internationalization of the Government of the Canary Islands (Gobierno de Canarias), delivered a keynote address focused on oceans and island territories, and the importance of the blue economy.

“When you look at the islands of your respective countries, not to see them from the perspective of territorial limitation, but from that perspective from and toward the ocean, because the sea is not where the land ends,” he outlined. “The sea, and this Atlantic Ocean we share, is where the future of all our islands begins.”

The Government of the Canary Islands oversees the administration of the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands and promotes the archipelago’s social, economic, and sustainable development, as well as its international outreach and cooperation. Its support for the Summit and its participation in the program contributed an island and Atlantic perspective, particularly valuable in considering the blue economy as an engine of sustainable growth for the region.

The SDG Media Zone, a platform organized by the UN Department of Global Communications in collaboration with PVBLIC Foundation, returned to the United Nations Headquarters in New York for the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly from 21 - 25 September, marking 10 years of impact as a global platform bringing together media, world leaders, advocates, experts and changemakers to advance conversations around sustainable development. 

The programming addressed critical global priorities, including peacebuilding, nature resilience, AI governance and information integrity, global health preparedness, and the power of creative storytelling to drive lasting social change.

“The SDG Media Zone was founded on the belief that sustainable development is everyone’s conversation. Ten years and 38 editions later, that belief has been affirmed by every leader, advocate and artist who has shared this stage. At a time when the international system is being tested, this platform has shown that dialogue remains one of our most powerful tools for cooperation. Together with the United Nations, we bring governments, institutions, communities and creators together in common purpose,” said Kerry Bannigan, President of the Board of PVBLIC Foundation and founding member of the SDG Media Zone.
