To make a Just Economy a national priority and a local reality by advancing economic equity through research, policy advocacy, training, grantmaking, and coalition building.
National Community Reinvestment Coalition Inc uses grantmaking to advance a just economy through member organizations working on housing counseling, homeownership, small business development, community development, and civil rights / fair lending. Its recent awards show a clear role as an intermediary funder: large grants flow to local and regional organizations that deliver direct services, build capacity, and support neighborhood-level economic equity. The Field Empowerment Fund is central to that pattern. Since inception in 2021, it has delivered more than $6.7 million in grants to 66 NCRC member organizations, with support for capacity building and direct services in low- and moderate-income communities. Recent awards include $250,415 to Southwest Economic Solutions (miside Wealth) in Detroit and $200,000 to Black Women Build - Baltimore Inc in Baltimore, both tied to local service delivery through member organizations. Housing counseling is another defining thread. The foundation also backs HUD-approved housing counseling agencies and related training work, including direct grants for counseling services and a HUD Housing Counseling Training and Services Grant to NCRC itself. Across these efforts, the organization funds a network rather than isolated projects, pairing national reach with local implementation through member organizations.
Housing counseling is one of the clearest program areas. Through the Field Empowerment Fund, National Community Reinvestment Coalition Inc awarded $150,000 to Latino Economic Development Center in Washington, DC, and $125,000 to Grow Brooklyn Inc in Brooklyn for member-based housing counseling and homeownership support. Small business development appears through MicroBiz Capital Accelerator Program awards. In that program, the foundation offers grants to nonprofits with grant and/or small-dollar capital programs that support local microbusinesses owned by people of color; the stated grant size is $20,000 to $50,000. Community development and organizational capacity also show up in its broader member support. The foundation gave $150,000 to California Reinvestment Coalition in San Francisco and $125,000 to Rondo Community Land Trust in St Paul through field empowerment and housing-related work tied to local community infrastructure. It also supports culturally significant business preservation. Under its Artistic and Culturally Significant Business Research Opportunity, it offered three $5,000 grants for members working with artistic or culturally significant Black- or Latino-owned businesses.

Typical grant size sits at $25,000 at the 25th percentile, $45,244 at the median, and $81,250 at the 75th percentile. The pattern is heavily oriented toward member organizations and repeat funding: Couleecap Inc, Bridgeport Neighborhood Trust Inc, and Coalition for Nonprofit Housing and Economic Development each appear more than once across years and payment types, including both subgrants and pass-through payments. The foundation is a public charity and a Pure DAF Provider, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Several opportunities are structured as designated or project-specific awards, including multi-year field empowerment rounds and housing counseling service grants. Some programs accept unsolicited applications, including the Fellowship for Equitable Development, MicroBiz Capital Accelerator Program, and certain Field Empowerment Fund rounds.
Grantmaking is national, and every recent grant in the dataset went to US recipients. Washington, DC appears often but is not the only center of activity: recent awards also land in Detroit, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Westby, Cleveland, San Francisco, Tampa, Chicago, St Paul, Brooklyn, and New Haven. The top state by grant count is Mississippi, while 10% of grants go to recipients in the District of Columbia. This mix suggests a broad member network with local implementation across multiple regions rather than concentration in the headquarters city.
