Funders Working Together: Learning and Leveraging

Since 1973 the ELF has been a place of  uncommon support not only for the Bay Area nonprofit community, but for the funders who sit around the ELF table. As one of NCG’s premiere philanthropic collaboratives, the ELF convenes grantmakers to share and learn about trends in nonprofit finance, and leverage their knowledge and resources to ensure the nonprofit sector remains a thriving force in our communities.
