NFF teamed up with Carnegie Corporation and the Four Freedoms Fund (FFF) to help small nonprofits fighting for immigrant and refugee rights develop vital financial literacy skills. In this customized initiative, eleven grantees participating in FFF's Capacity Building Initiative attended a special Linking Money to Mission Workshop and were offered deeper consulting services and followup coaching. In 2008, NFF presented early findings on trends and business models in the sector, laying the groundwork for improved funding practices.
