At a time when philanthropy is rapidly evolving, NNCG provides a critical space where practice, policy, and possibility come together, and sponsors help make that exchange possible. 💪

Partner with us to amplify your values, expand your visibility, and support the future of philanthropic practice.

Shoutout to NNCG member Chris Kabel for sharing this insightful Center for Effective Philanthropy blog by Carmen Rojas, PhD, CEO of Marguerite Casey Foundation 👏

At the heart of NNCG is a commitment to sharing knowledge, resources, and ideas that move the field forward, and we love seeing members naturally do this in their day-to-day work.

This piece offers an important call to action around addressing the “crisis of trust and effectiveness” between foundations and the nonprofits they support, and highlights what it takes to close philanthropy’s “say-do gap” through real, concrete action.

Thank you, Chris, for continuing to bring forward thought-provoking resources that help all of us reflect, learn, and improve how we show up in this work. 🙌

Take a look back at our webinar “Framing Equity in an Anti-Equity Environment,” held at the start of 2026.

Facilitated by Tina Louise Vasquez of Emerging Equity and David Maurrasse of Marga Incorporated, this session explored how consultants can support clients in maintaining, deepening, or beginning equity commitments while staying grounded in mission impact during complex and shifting environments.

Shoutout to NNCG members Marshall Ginn and Jessica Bearman for sharing these great moments from the 2026 PEAK Grantmaking Convening in St. Louis! 👏

This year’s convening marked PEAK’s 30th anniversary and centered on a powerful theme, Rooted in Purpose, Growing Together, highlighting the heart of philanthropy and the ongoing work of strengthening partnership, innovation, and care within communities.

We love seeing NNCG members connecting in real life at gatherings like this. With our network spread across the country, these in-person moments are meaningful opportunities to build relationships, exchange ideas, and strengthen the work we’re all doing in different spaces. ❤️
