We Are Reframing Philanthropy

NCF makes a forever pledge to build a Commonwealth where non-profit leaders and communities have access to philanthropic dollars. We aspire to a world that listens to those who are the most proximate to solutions and allows them to lead the collective movement toward repair. NCF is committed to reshaping the philanthropic sector to ensure that funding supports a full spectrum of leadership and expertise.

Our Origin Story

The New Commonwealth Fund was founded by a coalition of leaders dedicated to transforming philanthropy by advancing funding models that prioritize innovation, effectiveness, and inclusion. Since 2020, NCF has committed over $16.3 million to organizations implementing solutions that strengthen communities and expand access to resources.
