NCNG Member Call: Don’t Fund the Model, Fund the Work

How the variety of successes in the NC Food Hub Collaborative demonstrate why it’s important to fund the work, not the model.
 

Join us to understand: 

• The work looks different based on community needs. Each food hub may have the same mission, but they don’t try to replicate each other’s models. 
• How to “right-size” expectations rooted in community priorities. Meaningful impact doesn’t have to scale or spread across the state. 
• Nonprofits organizations can’t continuously innovate without their ideas, partnerships and collaboration being nurtured and funded.

Presenters:

Monica McCann, Program Director, Resourceful Communities 

Davon Goodwin, Executive Director, Sandhills AgInnovation

Carla Norwood, Executive Director, Working Landscapes

NCNG and Capital Collaborative In Person Event

Join NCNG and Capital Collaborative, by Camelback Ventures on October 12th for a late afternoon funder networking and learning event. Capital Collaborative (co-led by our 2021 keynote speaker, Jessamyn Shams-Lau) will be convening a cohort of national funders for training in Durham, and we thought it would be fun to get everyone together for some networking and learning. Meet peers who are in Durham to learn about the community, further their equity journeys, and understand how we can build a more just philanthropic process. We’ll also enjoy some tasty beverages and talk about Capital Collaboratives programs designed specifically for White funders committed to furthering equity in their organizations.

Deep Dive for Funders and Nonprofits: Nonprofit Finance Fund's Full Cost Model

Please join us for a deep dive into the Nonprofit Finance Fund's Full Cost model.

“Full Cost” is “Trust-Based Philanthropy’s best friend” and deeply rooted in equity. If you attended the 2022 NCNG Virtual Conference, you may have attended the high-level overview session.

This special learning opportunity will be held on December 6^th and 8^th from 11:00 AM – 3:30 PM (don’t worry – we’ll work in plenty of breaks!), and thanks to a generous sponsorship from TCBN, it will be only $35 for NCNG members.

In addition to grantmakers, we’ll also welcome nonprofits into the learning space, and look forward to this opportunity to learn together.
