A community of consultants that builds knowledge and skills to support an equitable, impactful, and vibrant philanthropic sector
Other 2023 Highlights:
-
We launched the Leading with Equity Institute, funded by the Ford Foundation. Nine field experts led explorations of multiple dimensions of identity and equity with more than 20 consultant participants.
-
Our 211+ members supported more than 2,000 grantmakers and donors in the field.
-
NNCG continued to support the specific learning needs of consultants to grantmakers through a robust calendar of webinars, workshops, and networking “virtual cafés.” In 2023, we had 97 members and 135 non-members participate in these programs.
Looking forward, we are excited about the year to come -- especially:
- We are launching our first peer networking collective that matches newer philanthropy consultants with more experienced consultants in the NNCG Network. As part of our Leading with Equity Initiative, this program focuses on supporting the leadership of philanthropy consultants who have a commitment to and want to sharpen their consulting enterprise to advance equity in philanthropy.
-
For the first time in nearly 10 years, we are sending out a Field Benchmarking Survey of consultants, advisors, funders, and donors - in partnership with 21/64. This survey will help us learn more about why and how funders and donors seek support, the types of consulting/advising relationships, and what both sides are seeing as critical changes in the sector. Our previous survey resulted in an issue of The Foundation Review devoted to philanthropy consulting. Look for more details about this survey when it is launched in April!

An emphasis on sustainable revenue for NNCG. We have engaged Marshall Ginn to increase our capacity to raise funds to support NNCG’s programming, resources for consultants, and increased visibility of your great work.
As we enter 2024, we are feeling so connected with the NNCG network and so optimistic about the great work you are all doing. Will you help us share this good vibe and expand our community?
