Program accomplishments
- TARGETED GRANTMAKING: NBF GRANTS GRASSROOTS AANHPI ORGANIZATIONS WITH DEMONSTRATED EXPERIENCE LEADING RACIAL JUSTICE EFFORTS WHILE PROMOTING LEADERSHIP OF THE FORMERLY INCARCERATED, CRIMINALIZED COMMUNITIES, AND THOSE IMPACTED BY DETENTION AND DEPORTATION. MOST GRANTEES HAVE ANNUAL BUDGETS UNDER 1 MILLION. IN 2024, NBF AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS IDENTIFIED FOUR ORGANIZATIONS TO RECEIVE BETWEEN 160,000-210,000 EACH THROUGH THE WE GOT US FUND, A DONOR-ADVISED FUND MANAGED BY THE EAST BAY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION.

- GRANTEE ORGANIZING, CAPACITY & RESOURCE BUILDING: NBF CONTINUES TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF OUR GRASSROOTS NONPROFIT PARTNERS. WE HAVE LEVERAGED RESOURCES FOR GRANTEES THROUGH INTRODUCTIONS TO OTHER FUNDERS, COACHES, CAPACITY ASSESSMENTS, AND ADVISING. IN 2024, WE CONTINUED OUR CAPACITY- BUILDING SUPPORT FOR ALL WE GOT US FUND GRANTEES, INCLUDING UP TO 20 HOURS FOR EACH ORGANIZATION IN DIRECT COACHING SERVICES, A SELF- ADMINISTERED ASSESSMENT TOOL VALUED AT 500 PER ORGANIZATION, AND OUR IN-PERSON CONVENING, WHICH BROUGHT TOGETHER 24 ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR 3 DAYS TO LEARN, STRATEGIZE, AND COLLABORATE. AT THE END OF 2024 WE EVALUATED OUR CAPACITY BUILDING. 100% OF GRANTEES RESPONDED POSITIVELY, AND WE FOUND HIGH RATES OF PROGRAM PARTICIPATION.
- LEADERSHIP PATHWAYS: FROM ITS INCEPTION, NBF WAS DESIGNED AS A VEHICLE FOR LEADERSHIP PATHWAYS TO PHILANTHROPY FOR AANHPI COMMUNITIES DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY VIOLENCE DUE TO THE CRIMINAL-LEGAL AND DEPORTATION SYSTEMS. ONE WAY IS THROUGH LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT TO GRANTEES AND MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CAC). WE DEVELOPED OUR PARTICIPATORY GRANTMAKING PROCESS WITH CAC MEMBERS, WHO SHARE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE FIELD, KEY STRATEGIES, AND POSSIBLE GRANTEES. 75% OF THE CAC ARE JUSTICE SYSTEM-IMPACTED AND VIOLENCE-IMPACTED LEADERS. THE CAC IS ITSELF A VEHICLE TO INCREASE PARTICIPATION IN PHILANTHROPY FOR FOLKS FROM MARGINALIZED AANHPI COMMUNITIES. PLEASE SEE SCHEDULE O FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
