NCF gains knowledge through community insights, partner experience, field research, and reflection.

NCF leverages knowledge as a tool for justice, learning, and accountability

Knowledge shapes how we make decisions, invest, and develop strategies. From data and research to lived experience and reflection, we use knowledge to strengthen our work and support our partners.

Learning

We integrate learning into every part of our work— gathering insights, reflecting with partners, and adapting strategies to stay aligned with our values and the evolving needs of communities.

Sharing

We contribute to field-wide learning by elevating partner insights, sharing what we’re learning in real time, and supporting collaborative spaces where ideas, tools, and lessons flow across networks.

Accountability

We use what we learn to assess progress, inform decisions, and stay accountable to the communities and organizations we’re partnering with.
