NCNG Programs and MeetingsTo see a list of events, conference calls, and meetings, please visit the NCNG Calendar.For NCNG members, grantmaking involves much more than writing a check to a charity. There are community issues to learn about, rules and regulations to follow, due diligence to perform, and practical skills that must be employed to make philanthropy effective and meaningful. The purpose of NCNG is to support information-sharing and cooperation among North Carolina grantmakers. Our programs and events, described below, provide grantmakers with useful information about pressing issues, models and effective practices and opportunities for members to work together to address shared concerns. To learn about other NCNG services and benefits of membership, please see the Join NCNG section of our website. The links followed by a

NCNG Working Groups & Cluster GroupsNCNG Working Groups & Cluster Groups further NCNG’s purpose of providing unique space for members to meet, network, and learn from one another. Working Group generally form around grantmaking interests, such as health, human service, environment, or race & poverty. Whereas Cluster Groups form to provide space for professionals of similar background to network. Both Working Groups and Cluster Groups have their own programming schedules that generally come together either in person or through conference calls on a quarterly basis. NCNG Working Groups were initially formed to facilitate cooperation among North Carolina grantmakers, support information-sharing and collective efforts of NCNG members with common concerns. Current working groups include education funders , environmental funders, health funders, and race & poverty funders. NCNG organizes conference calls, meetings and special programs for its working groups. If you are an NCNG member and would like to propose starting additional working groups, please contact Bobbi Hapgood. Cluster Groups are much like working groups in that they come together to facilitate networking and cooperation, but cluster groups are organized by professional affiliation. Current cluster groups include foundation trustees & donor advisors, community foundations, corporate grantmakers, & emerging leaders. More information on NCNG’s working & cluster groups is available in the Members Area of the website.
