Sustain Us
Our work is big and we can’t do it alone. No one does anything alone. Our sustainers believe in our vision to redistribute resources, capital, and power back to historically marginalized communities leading transformative change.
Sustaining NCG
Our work is big and we can’t do it alone. No one does anything alone. Our sustainers believe in our vision to redistribute resources.
To do this requires rigor and resources to mobilize philanthropy towards a collective vision. Our work affords us the extraordinary opportunity to have a lasting and meaningful impact in the place we call home. This is big stuff, to be sure and the only way to get there is if we are together for good.
NCG’s sustainers recognize that philanthropy can and must do better. Our sustainers support and bolster NCG’s efforts to deliver programs and offerings that intentionally gather people, lift up effective practices that mobilize the field, and transform philanthropy as a whole to advance racial equity in our region. Additionally, this support gives NCG the opportunity to go deeper, explore new ideas, adapt when necessary, and to experiment with transformative approaches.
NCG remains in gratitude for our sustainers who give general operating or programmatic grant support to power NCG’s work.
Sponsorships
Each year, NCG signature events attract hundreds of participants from our region’s philanthropic sector. Support NCG’s work to curate engaging events that connect, inspire, and mobilize philanthropy by becoming a sponsor.
