WHY JOIN NCNG?

The North Carolina Network of Grantmakers welcomes new members and encourages participation from a diverse group of organizations and individuals. Our membership reflects every geographic region of North Carolina, and a broad range of grantmakers -- small and large, long-established and brand new.

Membership in NCNG provides your foundation's staff and board with ongoing opportunities for professional development, issue learning, and networking.

As one foundation trustee said of a recent NCNG event, "That workshop you did really helped me.  We've tackled some of the issues you brought up and tried to start the conversation at our last meeting."

A network that works - Connect with other funders - you’ll not only learn from peers, you’ll share your knowledge with others.

Statewide scope - Your grantmaking is heavily impacted by state policies and initiatives. We keep you informed about the causes you care about and connect you with potential partners through our Fall and Spring Policy Briefings.
