Best Practices for Foundations Supporting Multi-Entity Work
NLA and our affiliated 501(c)(3), The Capacity Shop, believe that for progressives to win critical battles the entire progressive ecosystem must evolve to support multi-entity power-building work. That includes funders.

MAPPING CAPACITY-BUILDING RESOURCES
