A Foundation, Plus...
An ecosystem of care, connection, and
catalytic support for the people and
ideas building a more equitable future.
SPACE TO GROW.
SUPPORT TO FLOURISH.
CONNECTIONS TO THRIVE.
The Pillars That Guide Our Work.
ACCELERATE
We provide long-term
support—funding, strategy,
coaching, and space—to help
nonprofits scale their vision
and deepen their impact.
COLLABORATE
We design spaces that bring leaders, funders, and partners into real relationship—virtually and in person—making the work feel less isolated and more supported.
INNOVATE
We surface emerging practices, amplify bold ideas, and host events that reimagine what’s possible in the pursuit of education equity.
Building Belonging, Belief, and
Bold Possibility - Together.
At EGF, we believe nonprofit leaders deserve more than encouragement—they deserve deep, sustained support. We don’t parachute in with one-size-fits-all solutions. We build relationships, we remove barriers, and we co-create conditions where visionary people and ideas can thrive.
Through tailored programs, a vibrant community, and our convening space at 61 GPN, we’re investing in the future of nonprofit leadership—and standing with those working every day to advance access and opportunity.
At EGF, we meet leaders where they are—whether they’re launching, growing, or reimagining their work. We provide high-touch, long-term support that includes capital, capacity building, leadership coaching, and access to a powerful network of peers, funders, and advisors. Our approach is rooted in trust, tailored to real challenges, and focused on impact that goes far beyond a grant cycle.
OUR ECOSYSTEM OF ORGANIZATIONS:
Matching the Urgency with the Opportunity.
Nonprofit leaders are navigating a perfect storm: rising demand, shrinking resources, and widening equity gaps. The weight of that responsibility—especially in a city like New York—is real. That’s why we created 61 Gramercy Park North, a dedicated hub where nonprofit changemakers can lead, grow, and gather. Because the future of our communities depends on leaders who are supported—not stretched thin. We have created A HOME FOR CHANGEMAKERS.
Echos of Impact.
My firm is increasingly helping nonprofit senior teams and boards shift from reactive crisis management to intentional, adaptive leadership in today’s dynamic, unprecedented environment. I recommend “Reinvention Through Disruption: Moving From Perpetual Crisis to Collective Adaptability" from Center for Creative Leadership to get your organization moving in that direction.
