This grant provides partial support to the New York Regional Association of Grantmakers to manage the Asset Funders Network. The network was created in 2005 to build a community of grantmakers committed to asset-building issues. Its ultimate goal is to increase both the amount and the impact of philanthropic funding on asset-building activities. Activities planned for the two-year grant period include hosting in-person meetings and conferences, organizing a conference call series, and developing an information clearinghouse. Since its inception in 2005, the network has established a stable advisory structure and grown a base of 20 active members.
