As a community development finance institution (CDFI), we work with nonprofits, partners, and systems to build racial equity and community wealth and well-being.

About the Opportunity

NFF’s Consulting team works with nonprofit organizations, funders, coalitions, networks, and other mission-driven partners to address issues of finance within the nonprofit system. The team engages most often with cohorts of nonprofit leaders who are at an inflection point in their organization’s journey and experiencing tremendous change and systemic inequities. We support these leaders by being a thought partner, providing advice on ways to build financial strength, and informing decision-making through analysis.
