We're Hiring!

Dear Colleague,

NCRP welcomes the fall season with a new series, Insipiration|Philanthropy; commentaries on payout, racial equity-based grantmaking, leadership in the charitable sector, executive compensation and more; and a few of the notable news and analyses from around the sector.
 

Inspiration|Philanthropy
Our new bi-monthly series that features foundations and how their grantmaking reflects the spirit of Criteria for Philanthropy at Its Best in the "real world." To kick off the series, we begin with the Con Alma Health Foundation in New Mexico.
