We are proud to be able to partner with NFF to leverage city funding to purchase our first building. Through NFF's nonprofit-centered lending model, we were able to navigate seemingly insurmountable challenges. The support and partnership with NFF has made it possible for us to purchase a new building that will house homeless transgender youth, ensuring that trans youth have a place to call home and a safe place in which they can rebuild their lives and create a community

We are thrilled to take a moment to recognize and express our deepest gratitude to the Nonprofit Finance Fund. Their critical guidance, dedicated staff and steadfast support have been pivotal in strengthening our capacity to serve the vulnerable families and communities of New York City. NFF has been a lifeline during the recent contracting delays and their dedication to our mission has made a profound impact on our ability to pursue our goals.

Using NFF’s change capital framework, we developed visualization tools to help our donors and funders understand the impact of investing in our 25th anniversary campaign as we scale up to meet the urgent needs of the moment. Your learning series was so helpful as we thought through this – it would have been much harder to illustrate without the tools you offered.

The refinancing support from NFF allowed for us to secure funding from NYC to create our new home. Now the youth we serve can look forward to a large, beautiful space equal to their aspirations.
