We believe that meaningful change in our society
occurs through a combination of transforming ideas, strong institutions,
and great leaders. NCF invests in organizations and individuals
who are leading in innovation and willing to take risks. Our
preference is to fund organizations that help mold and change public
opinion in order to generate more support for a progressive and inclusive
government and an active civil society.
We make direct investments in organizations, and support
research on changing gender roles and
family dynamics. We also participate in funding collaboratives, including
support for progressive political infrastructure via The
Democracy Alliance, and support for clean elections in conjunction
with the
Piper
Fund. |
