=Welcome to the Network of Network Funders!=

===//The Network of Network Funders (NNF) is a learning community for funders who want to catalyze networks for social change. It is managed by Monitor Institute.//===

//**WHO IS THE NNF FOR?**//
The NNF is for funders who:
 * Are supporting coalitions, alliances, and/or networks and want their grantmaking to these groups be more effective;
 * Want the work of the communities and grantees they are supporting to add up to more than the sum of its parts;
 * Want to connect people and groups working in the areas they care about, to facilitate tapping into and creating new opportunities and resources;
 * Want their foundation to make a bigger impact than it can on its own; and/or
 * Are looking for ways to change systems.
