Today is Election Day, a day when we have the power and responsibility to improve our communities through voting. Our values at NCF – love, respect, determination, and courage – demand that we stand up and use our voices in this moment, by exercising our right to vote. By doing so, we can create a more just and equitable Commonwealth, and nation. Please be sure to vote today if you have not already voted early.

About us
We are Reframing Philanthropy. NCF makes a forever pledge to build a Commonwealth where Black and Brown nonprofit leaders and communities have equitable access to philanthropic dollars. We aspire to a world that listens to those who are most harmed by systemic racism and allows them to lead the collective movement to dismantle it – because we simply cannot wait for these injustices to resolve themselves organically, or for systemic racism to die from natural causes. In our first four years, we’ve invested more than $13 MILLION into our five pillars: Youth Development, Economic Empowerment, Health Equity, Policing & Criminal Justice Reform, and Identity & Culture Narrative.
