=**Welcome to the Network of Network Funders!**= ====//**The Network of Network Funders (NNF) is a community of practice for grantmakers who are intentionally investing in and working through networks. We are connecting, pooling, and deepening learning about networked approaches to grantmaking so funders can be increasingly intentional and effective in catalyzing and strengthening formal and informal network**////**s.**//====

**Goals of the NNF include:**

 * Learn and dialogue around network-related topics that are of interest and importance to community of practice members
 * Experiment with network approaches and thereby enable institutional learning and adaptation
 * Generate new and actionable knowledge that addresses gaps in our understanding of network approaches to philanthropy
 * Weave a broader network of funders and others who are supporting and working through networks
 * Capture, codify, and spread knowledge of what works

We are a group of 25 core participants from 14 different foundations across the U.S. In addition, we will be opening this site and some of our learning experiences up to fellow grantmakers and others who are eager to learn alongside.
