Our Team

FNL collaborates with a national network of respected social changemakers who bring deep expertise across issue areas and regions of the country, helping shape a rigorous selection process to identify leaders with the potential for outsized impact.

Through this network, FNL has recruited hundreds of talent scouts across nearly all 50 states. These nationally recognized leaders surface community-based changemakers whose work is often overlooked by traditional philanthropy. Together with FNL advisors, they help identify diverse cohorts of fellows whose work can grow through early, risk-tolerant financial support, training, and peer learning.

FNL is an independent 501c3 made possible through the generous support of the Hartman Family Foundation.
