Neighborhood Funders Group

The Neighborhood Funders Group (NFG) is a network of over 80 philanthropic institutions working to build the capacity of funders to promote social justice and community-level change. The NFG’s Working Group on Labor and Community Partnerships (the Working Group) is a subgroup of member funders committed to advancing the philanthropic conversation about economic justice, and strategies to expand access to higher quality employment, higher wages, better working conditions, comprehensive benefits and financial stability for working families. It provides an ongoing learning community for member funders to share, coordinate and organize activities to strategically address the changing nature of work, in particular the rise of contingent and fissured work arrangements. The grant supports efforts to identify and fill gaps in data and research that examine the true extent and implications of these shifting dynamics. It also supports the Foundation’s membership in NFG and the Working Group.
