The National Center for Family Philanthropy (NCFP) and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (RPA) are pleased to announce a multi-session Learning and Action Cohort for family philanthropies and individual donors who are significantly scaling up their philanthropy. Once a foundation or other form of philanthropy reaches a certain size, more robust practices and approaches are required in order to maximize impact. This program will support and guide families and professional staff as they adopt the necessary organizational changes to support an influx of assets with peer learning, hands-on workshops, consultation, and expert guidance from others who have successfully maneuvered similar transitions.
Youth involved in the legal system are much more likely to experience housing insecurity. In turn, youth who are homeless are much more likely to be incarcerated.

In order to make real changes in our communities, it is not enough to win elections. When progressive candidates get elected, philanthropy must provide them the support they need to govern effectively with the communities that helped elect them. Philanthropy already invests in increasing civic engagement and advocacy on social issues such as improving healthcare, education, and building a strong and inclusive economy for everyone.
When a company’s brand is trusted, consumers are more likely to prove loyalty with purchases and advocacy. This earned trust and loyalty not only means more business, it also leaves room for forgiveness when a mistake it made. According to the 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer, Business as a sector is trusted more than philanthropy and nonprofits, government, or media. Then why does it feel like companies constantly need to thread the needle with no room for error? How can we grow our impact as a sector to support an equitable future?
Every year, NCG hosts two conferences bringing together hundreds of members to learn, disrupt, and gather together.
