Grantmakers for Effective Organizations and Nonprofit Finance Fund were thrilled to host the Money Matters conference October 27-28, 2008 at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. This innovative conference brought together over 175 leading grantmakers to:

• Create a shared understanding of the priority areas that need to change in the nonprofit capital market;
• Debunk common assumptions about how money works to advance the work of nonprofits and how grantmakers can best support nonprofit results; and
• Profile promising ways grantmakers are supporting nonprofits.
