About
The Nextdoor Foundation was founded to uplift and strengthen local communities by supporting people and causes that truly make a difference. Through collaborations with other 501(c)(3) nonprofits, the foundation identifies and supports deserving individuals, small businesses, and neighborhood initiatives. The foundation appreciates the contributions of Nextdoor’s co-founders, board of directors, and executive team.
We believe small gifts can inspire and empower new leaders across the country, and the world, to deepen our connections to each other and inspire kinder communities.
