As a vital meeting ground, we advance our mission by fostering a sense of belonging, catalyzing action, and providing policy leadership across the full breadth of the charitable sector. Our organizational strategies are results-centered and racial equity-focused. We believe the country’s charitable nonprofits and foundations should be healthy and equitable, and have a targeted focus on Native, Black, Latinx, Asian, and other communities of color.
