Our Capital Assets

Grant Funding

NCF’s grant funding supports organizations and networks advancing racial, economic, and environmental justice. We prioritize long-term, trust-based relationships with partners who are building power, shifting systems, and driving transformative change in their communities.

Program-Related Investments

NCF uses program-related investments to move flexible, risk-tolerant capital to bold leaders and community-rooted solutions. These investments complement our grantmaking and help unlock impact in places where traditional funding falls short while advancing our mission.

Mission-Aligned Investing

NCF has aligned 100% of our investments with our values, supporting solutions that advance REEJ while avoiding harm and divesting from extractive or inequitable systems. Learn more here.
