| Mission | Neighborhood Funders Group (NFG) is a network of national and local grantmakers throughout the U.S. Our mission is to organize philanthropy to support grassroots power building so that communities of color and low-income communities thrive. We bring together funders to learn, connect, and mobilize resources with an intersectional and place-based focus. | MissionDesc |

| Desc | FFJ organized fully-attended sessions at NFG's 2018 national conference in St. Louis, including one focused on the Movement for Black Lives' (M4BL) platform with presentations by FFJ Advisors and specific dollar asks for each pillar of the platform. During NFG's conference, FFJ also organized a learning tour in Ferguson, which quickly filled up with funders and had a long waiting list. This work deepened our partnership with grassroots and philanthropy leaders in the region, such as Kayla Reed from the St. Louis Action Center and Electoral Justice Project of M4BL; and Reverend Starsky Wilson, President and CEO of the Deaconess Foundation, who co-chaired the Ferguson Commission. In 2018, FFJ completed a robust online divest/invest toolkit for funders. FFJ created the toolkit for funders because FFJ believes that collective funding strategies in housing, education, health, and jobs, will fail if funders do not also fund campaigns to divest this nation's resources from criminalization. In the toolkit, funders can easily access and read through a variety of issue areas and how they are affected by criminalization, as well as learn about examples of community safety and justice in practice. The toolkit challenges funders to aim grantmaking at local, regional, and national campaigns that move more public dollars into the public safety net and infrastructure that actually keep communities safe. Examples of funding opportunities promoted by the toolkit include: quality and affordable public education, housing, healthcare, childcare, and meaningful job opportunities that build the collective wealth and power of communities of color and low-income communities. FFJ has reached well over 100 funders with the divest/invest frame and toolkit, in addition to the 400+ members in FFJ who receive FFJ's regular funder education and mobilization emails. FFJ also launched two internal funder strategy groups that are deeply related to divest/invest: bail reform and healing justice. Additionally, FFJ just began a staffing support role to the Restorative Justice Funders Group. | Desc |

| Desc | An outgrowth of NFG's efforts to democratize development is the Amplify Fund, a multimillion-dollar pooled grantmaking fund that builds the power, influence, and decision-making authority of communities of color and low-income communities to advance equitable urban and regional development. Established by NFG in 2017 in partnership with Common Counsel Foundation, in 2018 the Amplify Fund selected pilot sites for grantmaking: California (in partnership with the Fund for an Inclusive California), Puerto Rico, Missouri, and North Carolina. NFG began working with local strategy advisors in each site to help contextualize the Fund's theory of change in the local environment and define the most effective role for Amplify as a funder, locally. In late 2018, Amplify began making grants in these sites. | Desc |

| Desc | In 2018 FJE continued its "Future of Work" project. Funders showed interest in topics related to portable benefits, universal basic income, financialization, and Silicon Valley's influence in political and economic arenas. FJE also began a Future of Work call series that focuses on emerging policies and organizing strategies to protect workers by addressing the changing nature of work, the influence of automation and technology, the accumulation of power and money in the financial sector, and the shifts within various job sectors. FJE also continued to convene funders to discuss financialization and what members would like to do together towards addressing its impact. The meeting resulted in a strategy to discuss financialization at funder conferences throughout 2018, develop educational materials for funders, community groups, and other stakeholders, and continue to build our analysis of addressing the impact of corporate power and the influence of the financial sector. Additionally, funders identified opportunities for alignment, including developing narrative change materials to foster a better understanding of how the rise of money and power in the financial sector has driven economic inequality and poverty. This communications strategy will target multiple audiences, including funders, community groups, policy advocates, and researchers across social movements. FJE members and community partners have presented about financialization and the future of work at the recent EDGE Funders Conference in April 2018 and during three workshops at the 2018 NFG Conference in St. Louis in June.In May 2018, FJE's "Working at the Intersections" program released a report titled Journey Towards Intersectional Grantmaking, a working definition of "intersectional grantmaking, and 12 best practices for FJE funders on philanthropy's role in addressing economic discrimination. This report was launched with a webinar to share the best practices that emerged from this program and report results. As well, the webinar emphasized that there are numerous entry points for funders to change their culture and shift grantmaking strategies to better support intersectional work that shifts power to justice and equity. | Desc |

| $169,315 | In 2018, DDP brought national focus to funders and community leaders on federally designated Opportunity Zones. Opportunity Zones were enacted as part of the 2017 tax reform package (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) to address uneven economic recovery and persistent lack of growth that have left many communities across the country behind. In the broadest sense, the newly enacted federal Opportunity Zone program provides a federal tax incentive for investors to invest in low-income urban and rural communities through favorable treatment of reinvested capital gains and forgiveness of tax on new capital gains. DDP has been building a funder learning and community network space centered on equity and social justice work focused on Opportunity Zones by hosting two webinars with over 100 attendees. In April 2018, DDP organized an Equity and Justice Funder Caucus at the PolicyLink Equity Summit, held in Chicago, IL. The purpose of the session was to create a funders' network space to share, reflect, and build on the dynamic and passionate leadership witnessed at the Equity Summit. This session enabled NFG staff to cultivate new relationships and connect with folks who are moving forward and towards racial justice and equity in their grantmaking. Over 130 people registered for the caucus session, including a broad range of foundation types, geography, and individual roles within their institutions.In May 2018, DDP hosted a two-day Community Change Learning Exchange (CCLE) in Chicago, IL. This exchange was designed to be a dynamic experiential learning about place-based grantmaking and brought together 50 funders from around the country, with an emphasis on including Chicago and Midwest area funders. This CCLE provided a safe space for funders to share the challenges, progress, and questions stemming from their community change efforts in the Chicago area, particularly with respect to resident engagement. The space allowed for an honest and open conversation among grantmakers about one another's place-based work and its challenges, successful place-based strategies, the state and trajectory of the community change field, ways to approach resident and community engagement, and questions meant to provoke further reflection in their home cities and regions. This Chicago CCLE also furthered NFG's goal in 2018 of fostering and deepening relationships with and among Midwest funders.On July 18 20, 2018 in Atlanta, GA DDP and the Right to The City Alliance assembled leaders from grassroots housing, land justice organizations, and the philanthropic field for a Field & Funder Convening to deepen relationships, alignment and collaboration both within and between these sectors. The convening created critical space for funders and field leaders to develop shared assessment of efforts around housing and community development. It also helped participants identify gaps and opportunities to more effectively connect movement building and grassroots organizing work, and local to national resourcing strategies. - Webinar: Just and Equitable Rebuilding of Cities After Disasters (December 6) | ||
