As a nonprofit, HEFN operates through a Joint Plan of Work with Virginia Organizing, a 501c(3) organization that accepts and manages funds on our behalf. Our work is guided by a national Steering Committee,  which is currently comprised of eight leaders from HEFN’s membership.

The Organization

Funders for Justice is a national network and organizing platform for grantmakers, donor networks, and funder affinity groups to mobilize resources to grassroots organizing led by and for people of color, at the intersections of racial justice, gender justice, economic justice, ending criminalization, and building models for community safety and justice. FFJ is a political home for funders: a place of problem-solving and catalyzing change in philanthropy; a place for trouble-makers and visionary leaders in philanthropy; a place for the curious committed to manifesting tangible change; a place to learn, support each other, and tell the whole truth about this political moment: what communities and organizations are facing, what they’re doing to fight and build new ways, and how funders need to step up to meet the mandate of the moment.

FFJ is a highly collaborative organization that trusts the people on our team to lead. Staff are innovative and generative, and create infrastructure for our work that holds both structure and flexibility so that members can meaningfully participate in our programs and partner with staff to lead on new opportunities.

FFJ was founded in 2014, and has grown from less than 100 members, mostly rapid response programming, and part time staff, to over 500 members, several areas of programming, several formal member leadership roles, and six full time staff roles; the Director of Communications will be the seventh staff role. Funders for Justice is led by a steering committee and a set of member leaders across three issue-based strategy groups, and staff. The staff work closely with the member leadership and other members to design and implement the daily programming.

FFJ hosts an array of standing programming: divest/invest political education for funders; a cohort of movement advisors that provide political guidance to our work; three strategy groups: healing justice, ‘me too’ in philanthropy, and eroding the power of police unions; the donor organizing committee for the Movement for Black Lives, in partnership with M4BL staff; and a fellowship for FFJ’s member leaders. FFJ also offers additional responsive and collaborative programs throughout the year, including webinars and virtual institutes, as well as in-person events and training institutes at philanthropic conferences (when it is safe again to convene in person).

ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW AND CONTEXT 

When NCFP was founded, philanthropy as a professional field was nascent and NCFP developed programs to successfully meet the needs of the family philanthropists it served at that time. Organizations serving philanthropists were not common, and NCFP was instrumental in organizing and building a base of knowledge to support the development of a now recognized field of family philanthropy.

The pace of change in external context has rapidly accelerated as the field reckons with national disruption, the effects of climate change, health crises and long-standing structural inequities. The field of family philanthropy is calling for support to respond to an increasingly intersectional world, requiring social- impact investments that are more strategic, justice-minded, and effective.

NCFP is responding with support that is agile, evolving, and increasingly co-created by stakeholders and partners in the field. To achieve this, NCFP has adopted a new strategic plan, with a theory of impact linked to a clear business model, that calls for both an expansion in the number of families served as well as a deepening of their engagement toward more effective practices.

NCFP, guided by its refreshed theory of impact, works to:

• Elevate a vision for family philanthropy, including the potential and practices of impactful and intentional giving.
• Equip families and their partners to achieve purposeful outcomes with curated and relevant tools, resources, and skills.
• Activate and connect a diverse and engaged peer community of philanthropic families and partners.

A newly designed Family Giving Lifecycle framework encompasses the breadth and inflection points of family philanthropy and orients donors to effectiveness for the purpose of promoting better outcomes. It recognizes the complexity of family decision making and acknowledges the iterative nature of the journey families undertake, making room for revisiting topics as the family and philanthropy evolve. Program strategies will extend opportunities for peer-based learning and incorporate a wider variety of tools and learning modalities to meet the connection, exploration, and training goals of philanthropic families. Based on feedback that the field is asking for expert-led communities of practice, these programmatic approaches increasingly include ongoing peer learning and networks.
