NFF builds community wealth and well-being through two primary paths: We lend and consult with nonprofits to boost their collective success and power, and we engage in advocacy with partners to change the funding systems that control how resources flow to nonprofits.
Community Impact
Through partnerships with numerous stakeholders, NFF’s work leads to greater community wealth and well-being. On the ground, this means:
- The creation of more jobs and services to support thriving local communities.
- Healthier, more vibrant communities.
- Communities having greater agency to control their own resources.
Client Outcomes
We partner with our nonprofit clients to provide capital and financial consulting in order to realize the long-term goals of their organizations and those they serve in communities.
Partner Outcomes
We work with funders and investors to connect capital to mission-aligned nonprofits that advance community-led and community-responsive projects and services.
System Outcomes
We advocate for improvements in how nonprofits are funded, supporting shifts in funding practices like timely payments of government contracts to nonprofits and funding that lets nonprofit leaders cover their full costs and pay their staff living wages.
Internal Outcomes
To best serve our clients and meet our mission, NFF continuously evaluates our internal culture, practices, and policies to ensure they center our clients and communities.
