At Nathan Cummings Foundation, we define impact by intent and measurability.
We pursue impact as a shared endeavor rooted in interdependence, driven by justice, and measured by contribution. We back bold innovators working outside the spotlight to transform systems and elevate people and planet alike.
We believe that advancing REEJ will elevate the conditions of people and our planet.
NCF leverages 100% of our assets to advance racial, economic, and environmental justice. Our approach centers on collaboration, long-term investment, and continuous learning. We focus on contributing to systemic change, knowing that progress requires shared effort, accountability, and a willingness to learn as we continue our journey to justice.

NCF is committed to sharing key moments from our Justice Journey in 2024.
