North Star Fund is New York City’s community foundation that organizers turn to when they need resources to do the kind of deep work that changes our society for the better. We take our place in the big picture by not looking the other way, by reversing the flow of power and resources, by building grassroots leadership in a systematic way.

For the 2011 North Star Fund Annual Report, members of our community have contributed personal stories and artifacts emblematic of this foundation's mission and vision. They are meant to inspire future generations in their efforts to create a just and equitable society.
