Core Funding

SectorForce is developing a core funding strategy designed to attract and leverage public, private and philanthropic funding, community reinvestment, impact investing and other place-based solutions. Our objective is to advance community engagement and development while reducing the risk of unrestricted funds and increasing the societal impact of trust-based philanthropy. According to the Oak Foundation, core funding can provide flexibility, empowering nonprofit organizations to focus on their most pressing needs and support their own development and sustainability. https://oakfnd.org/what-evidence-is-there-on-the-impact-of-core-funding/
