OUR FUTURE

In 2016, NCRP released a new strategic framework to guide our work during the next 10 years.

This logic model shows NCRP’s strategic framework for 2017-2026, which is guided by the vision that philanthropy contributes in meaningful ways to the creation of a fairer, and more just, democratic and equitable society. We will use the following strategies to make this vision a reality: education and build knowledge, engage members and allies, analyze and provide feedback, and advocate and change policies. Our desired short-term outcomes are two-fold. First, funders, donors, grantees and policymakers are exposed to content produced by NCRP and find it valuable. Second, members and allies are actively engaged with NCRP in its work. They serve on advisory committees, attend events, serve on panels co-author op-eds, contribute to our blog, etc.There are three desired mid-term outcomes. First, funders and donors use NCRP content and/or relationships to inform and improve how they operate and/or how they allocate resources. Second, grantees working for social justice, especially NCRP members, use NCRP content and/or relationships to strengthen their fundraising. They feel more empowered in their relationships with funders. Third, policymakers use NCRP content to inform their decisions. Long-term we want to see an increase in the number of funders who intentionally seek to benefit underserved communities and in the number of serious social justice funders. We also want to see an increase in the amount of multi-year general operating funding going toward social justice. We also want to see an increase in the number of individual donors supporting social justice. Finally, we want to see an increase in the mission investments that benefit underserved communities, and in diversity among trustees and CEOs of foundations. In the end, we want to grantees working for social justice to increase their impact and win important campaigns.
