Housing Network Joins NPQ to Strengthen Nonprofit Governance Infrastructure
Grounded Solutions Network partners with Nonprofit Quarterly to give housing justice organizations access to governance training and peer networks — recognizing that transformative systems work requires strengthened organizational capacity.
Grounded Solutions Network has become a 2026 Community-Level Sponsor of Nonprofit Quarterly’s Leading Edge program, securing access to governance training and strategic tools for housing justice organizations across its network. The partnership provides Champion-level members with year-round access to 50+ expert-led webinars, equity-driven management frameworks, and peer connection infrastructure — resources aimed at building organizational capacity during a period of federal funding contraction.
The timing matters. Nonprofits working at the intersection of housing and community development face mounting pressure as federal program budgets shrink. NPQ reaches more than 800,000 monthly readers and has spent nearly three decades advancing conversations on democratic practice, racial justice, and movement leadership. This isn’t abstract capacity-building — it’s infrastructure for the organizations doing ground-level governance work in communities.
The partnership reflects a recognition that transformative practice requires more than good ideas. It requires functional organizations with competent leadership, sustainable funding models, and connection to broader networks of practice. Governance systems, whether at the organizational or community level, must be actively maintained and continuously learned — not just theorized about from a distance.
