Funders Working Together: Learning and Leveraging

Since 1981 the ALF has been a place of creative support not only for the Bay Area arts community, but for the arts and culture funders who sit around the ALF table. As one of NCG’s premiere philanthropic collaboratives, the ALF convenes grantmakers to share and learn about trends in arts and culture funding, and leverage their knowledge and resources to ensure the nonprofit sector remains a thriving, creative force in our communities.
