About Neighborhood Funders Group
Neighborhood Funders Group’s grantmaking is built around pooled, intermediary vehicles rather than direct awards to individual nonprofits. Its recent funding is dominated by support for the Amplify Fund, the SWO Fund, and LIFT Fund grantmaking, with additional work through Rural Strategies and national grantmaking. The repeated recipient in the recent-grants list is Amalgamated Charitable Foundation, which appears as the regranting hub for those programs. The foundation’s programs point to a field-building role: they fund organizing infrastructure, funder education, and community-led strategies tied to racial justice, economic justice, gender justice, disability justice, climate justice, and community power building. That pattern is visible in grants for Amplify Fund grantmaking, support for NFG/LIFT’s SWO Fund, and national grantmaking. The recent data also shows Rural Strategies support, which extends the organization’s work to rural organizing and base-building. Across the grants list, the structure is less about one-off project checks than about sustaining funds that regrant onward. That makes Neighborhood Funders Group a funder to read as a platform for movement-oriented philanthropy, especially where BIPOC-led and low-income communities are the intended beneficiaries.
What Neighborhood Funders Group Funds
In place-based organizing, Neighborhood Funders Group gave $4,350,000 to Amalgamated Charitable Foundation for SWO grantmaking and $2,783,501 for the Amplify Fund Grantmaking Fund. Those grants show a strong emphasis on pooled vehicles that can move money into community-led work. Their rural strategy is also explicit. In 2023, they gave $70,500 to Amalgamated Charitable Foundation to support Rural Strategies’ grantmaking, followed by a $7,000 grant in 2025 to support the Rural Strategies Fund. That line of funding connects the foundation to rural organizing and infrastructure. The national side of the portfolio appears in a $1,000,000 grant for National Grantmaking, along with a $375,000 grant and a $363,500 grant in 2023 for LIFT Fund’s national grantmaking. Taken together, the data shows support for intermediary funds, rural movement work, and broader national grantmaking infrastructure.
