We partner with social change organizations that have creative and catalytic solutions to climate change and inequality. NCF seeks to advance Racial, Environmental & Economic Justice (REEJ) in the U.S. and Israel-Palestine. Our vision for racial justice is the removal of structural barriers and hierarchies based on race. It seeks to reimagine political, economic, and social systems in ways that allow all people to thrive, regardless of their racial identity.

The principles of economic justice create a stronger economy because prosperity and equity go hand in hand. Environmental justice is the right of all people and communities to a clean, healthy, and safe environment. It promotes equal environmental protection under the law and in fact. It empowers all communities to make informed decisions and fully participate civically and economically in the creation of environmental solutions. Our grantmaking in the Israel-Palestine region, like our work in the United States, seeks to advance racial, economic, and environmental justice. NCF has committed to bringing 40% of our assets — both financial and non-financial — to advance REEJ solutions across the U.S. South in concert with stakeholders in the public and private sectors. NCF’s Totality of Assets approach leverages all our financial & non-financial assets toward impact. NCF’s grant funding, program-related investments, and our endowment work together to provide catalytic funding to advance racial, economic, and environmental justice. We don’t just invest in ideas with funding — we invest time, talent, and resources to make change possible. From technical assistance to leveraging ecosystems, and everything in between, NCF’s people and relationships are one of our greatest assets to move our mission forward. At NCF, we see knowledge as one of our most powerful assets. By moving knowledge through ecosystems – not hoarding it – we treat it as a renewable resource for justice, assisting all of our cross-sectoral partners and communities to lead, adapt, and thrive. NCF leverages our voice through proxy voting, strategic communications, and cross-sector partnerships. By aligning our investments and messaging with our mission, we
