We are a community of grantmakers who are moving money to racial, gender, economic, disability, and climate justice.

People
We activate funders to co-conspire, move money, and are agents of change in philanthropy.
Amoretta Morris

“In philanthropy, we need space to actually exchange and dialogue.

NFG spaces have provided this and are highly valuable. NFG has been my reality check - the place where I have felt grounded and the place that has kept me connected.”

— Amoretta Morris (she/her)
Borealis Philanthropy

Place
Our programs build and strengthen relationships between national grantmakers, local & regional funders, and community organizations.
Andre Oliver

“One of the things that is terrific about NFG is to be able to engage with national funders...

...who are making grants in the same space as my foundation — in addition to regional and local funders — that share a similar focus on racial, economic, and climate justice from different lenses.”

— Andre Oliver (he/him)
The James Irvine Foundation

Power
We're working towards liberating philanthropic assets so that BIPOC communities and low-income communities have power to self-determine.
Olivia Trabysh

“We’re a small team. And NFG has become our funder organizing home that is focused on place and also a progressive best practice space.
