Exploring New Developments in Unionization within the Social Justice Sector
Date: 2026-06-23T11:00:00-07:00
Description: Join Neighborhood Funders Group, Beyond Neutrality, the Ford Foundation, and the Amalgamated Foundation for an online briefing for funders to learn more about the current trends in unionization in the nonprofit social justice sector. In the current political and economic climate, it is vital that we work together toward a thriving multiracial democracy. At the same time, nonprofit staff face growing uncertainty and continue to unionize for greater power and voice on the job. This duality is a fast-moving and critical dynamic for funders to understand and to consider their role among grantees and partners. During the briefing, we will share lessons about the current landscape of unionization in the social justice sector and the role funders can play in supporting outcomes that are mission-driven, pro-union, and anti-racist.

More informationWhy We Still Need Abolition: 2-Part Series on Abolition & Militarism
Date: 2026-10-02T10:00:00-07:00
Description: As we strive to continue to organize in philanthropy to support movement during this time of repression and carcerality, it is perhaps most important to return to thinking about the world we want to see. In our efforts to remain in solidarity with BIPOC community organizing towards justice, funders must remain committed to our own ongoing learning. Amidst crises competing for our attention, let’s revisit foundational political education in deeper ways - building understanding and systemic analysis in order to provide greater clarity in how we can think about and sustain social change as new challenges continue to arise. While state violence continues to repress voices for liberation and disappear people into cages, abolition reminds us that surveillance, policing, and imprisonment are still not true solutions to economic, social, and political problems, and its principles can be applied to all of the issues we face. US militarism is, in many ways, the global extension and resource engine of the carceral state. At $997 billion in military spending in 2024, the US has remained by far the largest military spender in the world. We live in a war economy that is consistently making profits off of both domestic policing and global occupation, at the expense of real public resources for our communities. How can we divest from systems of violence and continue to be in solidarity with communities that bear the brunt of state violence? Join us to learn more about these systems, how community organizers are resisting, and the ways we can build something different.

Junction
Date: 2026-10-27
Description: What is the liberated world that philanthropy and movement partners can build together? Neighborhood Funders Group invites you to save the date for Junction, taking place October 27-28 in Durham, North Carolina to explore this question and dream about what is possible. In NFG’s efforts to activate philanthropy’s resources and influence to build collective power for racial, gender, and economic justice, it is critical for philanthropy and movement partners to intentionally work together toward a shared 50-year liberation journey. Junction is the space we’re creating for this work to happen. Join us for this two-day convening to dream, practice radical imagination, and be in relationship with funders and movement partners as we build a more just and liberated world. This convening is not your standard philanthropy gathering. We’re bringing people together to experience wonder and awe, to think about the seeds we must plant and tend to, and to ground ourselves in the work we must do right now. Junction is an event for strategizing with co-conspirators in philanthropy and movement, not just listening to and learning from.
