  • Capacity Building for Grassroots Partners

    GRANTEE ORGANIZING, CAPACITY & RESOURCE BUILDING: NBF CONTINUES TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF OUR GRASSROOTS NONPROFIT PARTNERS. WE HAVE LEVERAGED RESOURCES FOR GRANTEES THROUGH INTRODUCTIONS TO OTHER FUNDERS, COACHES, CAPACITY ASSESSMENTS, AND ADVISING. IN 2024, WE CONTINUED OUR CAPACITY- BUILDING SUPPORT FOR ALL WE GOT US FUND GRANTEES, INCLUDING UP TO 20 HOURS FOR EACH ORGANIZATION IN DIRECT COACHING SERVICES, A SELF- ADMINISTERED ASSESSMENT TOOL VALUED AT 500 PER ORGANIZATION, AND OUR IN-PERSON CONVENING, WHICH BROUGHT TOGETHER 24 ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR 3 DAYS TO LEARN, STRATEGIZE, AND COLLABORATE. AT THE END OF 2024 WE EVALUATED OUR CAPACITY BUILDING. 100% OF GRANTEES RESPONDED POSITIVELY, AND WE FOUND HIGH RATES OF PROGRAM PARTICIPATION.

  • Leadership Pathways to Philanthropy

    LEADERSHIP PATHWAYS: FROM ITS INCEPTION, NBF WAS DESIGNED AS A VEHICLE FOR LEADERSHIP PATHWAYS TO PHILANTHROPY FOR AANHPI COMMUNITIES DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY VIOLENCE DUE TO THE CRIMINAL-LEGAL AND DEPORTATION SYSTEMS. ONE WAY IS THROUGH LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT TO GRANTEES AND MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CAC). WE DEVELOPED OUR PARTICIPATORY GRANTMAKING PROCESS WITH CAC MEMBERS, WHO SHARE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE FIELD, KEY STRATEGIES, AND POSSIBLE GRANTEES. 75% OF THE CAC ARE JUSTICE SYSTEM-IMPACTED AND VIOLENCE-IMPACTED LEADERS. THE CAC IS ITSELF A VEHICLE TO INCREASE PARTICIPATION IN PHILANTHROPY FOR FOLKS FROM MARGINALIZED AANHPI COMMUNITIES. PLEASE SEE SCHEDULE O FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
