NCF is a multigenerational family foundation, rooted in the Jewish tradition of social justice

Our vision for racial justice is the removal of structural barriers and hierarchies based on race. It seeks to reimagine political, economic, and social systems in ways that allow all people to thrive, regardless of their racial identity.

 Economic justice means that everyone has opportunities to participate and thrive in the economy, including those who are marginalized by our current economic systems. The principles of economic justice create a stronger economy because prosperity and equity go hand in hand.

Environmental justice is the right of all people and communities to a clean, healthy, and safe environment. It promotes equal environmental protection under the law and in fact. It empowers all communities to make informed decisions and fully participate civically and economically in the creation of environmental solutions.

Our grantmaking in the Israel-Palestine region, like our work in the United States, seeks to advance racial, economic, and environmental justice.

NCF has committed to bringing 40% of our assets — both financial and non-financial — to advance REEJ solutions across the U.S. South in concert with stakeholders in the public and private sectors.
