Become a Grantmaker Member or Supporter

Since 1976, NCRP has helped improve the effectiveness, impact and accountability of grantmakers. We are financially supported by over 100 foundations and other grantmakers from across the U.S. who share our vision for philanthropy that serves the public good, is responsive to people and communities with the least wealth and opportunity, and is held accountable to the highest standards of integrity and openness.

Why grantmakers support NCRP:

• Moving resources and power differently on the scale that can build movements and create lasting change requires shared understanding and a coordinated effort across philanthropy. Grantmakers who are on the journey to better build, share, and wield their power with communities know they can better achieve their goals when other funders in their focus areas are moving in the same direction. NCRP is driving and informing important conversations in philanthropy and creating pressure for all funders to do better.
• NCRP creates original information, tools, and resources that help grantmakers assess and improve their practices as well as advocate for others in their organizations and philanthropic community to do the same. We provide uniquely valuable data, analysis, and insights through programming that centers the needs and perspectives of frontline nonprofit organizations.
