Thank you, North Star Fund CFC Members
Since 1979, North Star Fund has taken the unique approach of vesting our grantmaking authority with New Yorkers who are grassroots organizers, people who create media and art to support activism, and leaders of New York’s social justice movements. Over the last four decades, hundreds of New Yorkers have committed extensive hours to meeting with prospective grantees, reviewing applications, and making the tough decisions about where to invest in local movements.
Here are New Yorkers who have served on the North Star Fund Community Funding Committees (originally called the Community Funding Board) from 1979-2019.*
