Neighborhood Funders Group (abbreviated NFG, official website nfg.org) is a non-profit collaborative network of grantmakers founded in the United States in 1980. Its core mission is to coordinate resources across the philanthropic sector, advance racial, gender, economic, disability and climate justice, and empower BIPOC and low-income communities to achieve self-determined development. Instead of directly fundraising from the general public and grassroots groups, NFG builds a collaborative network for grantmaking institutions focused on justice issues, connecting national and local funders to channel resources toward grassroots movements.
NFG runs multiple themed collaborative programs centered on different justice issues, including the Democratic Development Program focused on urban housing and development, and the Comprehensive Rural Strategy Group for rural justice, among others. It also launched the pooled Amplify Fund, which directly provides grant support to community organizations. In addition, NFG regularly hosts workshops and political education events, and releases a number of open learning resources to help the sector understand justice issue frameworks — for example, it makes the learning material Racial Capitalism and the Lessons for Philanthropy publicly available for free.
Pricing is only for institutional members. NFG sets a sliding suggested annual membership fee based on an institution's annual grantmaking budget, allowing organizations to choose the contribution level that fits their own circumstances. Membership applications are subject to eligibility review by NFG.
Pros: NFG has a clear positioning and distinct value orientation, with a mature cross-regional funder collaboration mechanism. Over 40 years of operation, it has built a membership network of more than 140 institutions across the United States, and part of its learning resources are open and free for the sector to reference.
Cons: It only serves eligible funding institutions based within the United States, and is not open to individuals. Core collaborative content is only accessible to members, and the entire site is only available in English.
The website is currently directly accessible to users in China, no VPN/proxy required.
This website primarily serves grantmaking institutions in the United States that focus on social justice issues. For Chinese public welfare practitioners, you can freely access its open learning resources to understand the issue frameworks for relevant topics in the U.S. philanthropic sector.
