For NCFP‘s 20^th anniversary we decided to used our monthly webinars as a chance to revisit our Founding Values and Guiding Principles.

In partnership with Exponent Philanthropy and Grantmakers for Effective organizations, we will learn from three giving families working on donor collaboratives, innovative grantee/grantor partnerships, and strategic funder and government collaborations.
