NFG’s mission is to organize philanthropy to support grassroots power building so that Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities and low-income communities thrive. For over 40 years, NFG has been a trusted space for funders to connect, learn, and mobilize resources with an intersectional and place-based focus. Together with our member network of over 140 grantmaking institutions, NFG engages philanthropic institutions and their staff across the U.S. to address inequality by accelerating racial, gender, economic and climate justice.    

Our members include private foundations, community foundations, family foundations, corporate foundations and giving programs, faith-based funders, public foundations, donor collaboratives, health funders, and other grantmaking institutions that work across the US in both urban and rural settings. What our members have in common is a commitment to people, place, and power and a desire to connect, learn, and act together to deepen their impact. Collectively, these member institutions represent hundreds of foundation staff and trustees who are part of NFG’s growing national network.

In addition to hosting a signature national conference every two years, NFG currently runs six core programs through which people in philanthropy learn, collaborate, and take action together:
  - Funders for a Just Economy (FJE)
  - Democratizing Development Program (DDP)
  - Integrated Rural Strategies Group (IRSG)
  - Midwest Organizing Infrastructure Funders
  - Philanthropy Forward: Leadership for Change Fellowship
  - Amplify Fund
