The Neighborhood Funders Group provides information, learning opportunities, and other professional development activities to our national membership that encourage the support of policies and practices that advance economic and social justice.

NFG works to strengthen and expand social justice philanthropy and provide specific tools and strategies for more effective grantmaking. Social justice philanthropy has evolved into several broad areas, including community organizing, community development, and economic development. The Resources section will provide an opportunity for grantmakers and other interested groups to learn more about NFG and social and economic justice grantmaking.
