Focus
NCF released a Community Needs Assessment in March 2023. Following a rigorous research process in partnership with several organizations and entities in the Northland, the completed Community Needs Assessment pinpoints gaps in the community ecosystem, and identifies opportunities where investments of philanthropic dollars will have the greatest potential to make measurable differences in the community which are:
- Mental and behavioral health.
- Growing needs of a rapidly expanding senior population.

NCF seeks opportunities for the donors it represents to make lasting contributions to the community in one or more of the above areas.
