EMCF

Since 1999, EMCF has championed economically disadvantaged youth, and the collaborative, performance-based investment approach we have developed over this time helps philanthropists and nonprofits achieve greater impact... Belief in People - We invest in people because we believe in them and in their vision. We also believe our grantees know best what they need to do to meet their goals. Our effectiveness as a grantmaker rests on their informed judgment and ability to execute. We also believe in each other-as staff and board members... Pragmatism - We accept the limitations of what we can achieve, given the extent of our resources. We strive to set realistic goals-for both our grantees and ourselves. We are prepared to shift course when necessary to ensure the effectiveness of our grantmaking.
