Moving us forward. Together.
The New Commonwealth Racial Equity and Social Justice Fund (NCF) is a coalition of Black and Brown executives in Massachusetts who have come together to leverage our individual and collective power to work with community organizations and coalitions to address and eliminate systemic racism and racial inequity in our Commonwealth.
We came together amid the COVID-19 pandemic—which has ravaged disproportionally the health and economy of Black and Brown communities—and in the wake of the brutal killing of George Floyd by police and other recent, horrific racially charged incidents in this country. Those involved in the formation of NCF have contributed over $20 million in seed money to begin to move forward and effect positive change in Massachusetts.

This is how we fulfill our mission.
NCF uses a 3-pronged philanthropic approach of trust-based grantmaking, culturally relevant capacity building, and fostering an ecosystem to support robust racial equity and social justice outcomes to achieve our mission.
NCF partners with champions, allies, and grassroots advocates who work within its communities to dismantle structural racism.
NCF amplifies the voices and efforts of underestimated and underfunded Black- and Brown-led organizations, connecting them to resources and each other within its four Pillar areas: Policing and Criminal Justice Reform; Health Equity; Economic Empowerment; and Youth Education, Empowerment and Civic Engagement.
Beyond supporting grantees, NCF will work to build a broader ecosystem of leaders looking to dismantle systemic racism in the Commonwealth.
