Greetings!
We owe a huge thanks to Mary Phillips, who has served as chair of the NNCG Steering Committee since 2017. Her profound commitment to our organization started as a founding member of NNCG and continues to date, as she serves as the Immediate Past Chair on the Steering Committee. During her tenure as chair, Mary brought her considerable experience and expertise as President of GMA Foundations to help guide our organization, recharge the Steering Committee, and shepherd us through a critical time — all making us stronger today. We are indebted to Mary for her dedicated service and servant leadership. Thank you, Mary!

The COVID and social justice crises are requiring us to think of what we have been doing to effectively and nimbly support change. It is an interesting time, a scary time, and most importantly, a time in which we, as a sector, should be leaning in and taking incredible risks to create and support justice and equity. Author A. Nicole Campbell, highlights three areas of focus within grantmaking for foundations interested in creating and supporting this transformation in the sector in her article “Transformational Grantmaking is Most Needed in a Crisis.”
