Funders Council
The Funders Council increases the Terner Center’s capacity to craft high-impact, research-driven policy that addresses the roots of the nation and California’s housing affordability crisis.
The Funders Council brings together our most engaged partners who range from government agencies to private and nonprofit corporations to individuals. Membership is conferred based on annual donation amounts. This is a joint council for the Terner Center and our sister nonprofit, Terner Labs.
The Funders Council meets 1-2 times per year to allow members to engage with Terner staff, get unique insights into and offer feedback on current and upcoming work, and network with other members. Funders Council members also receive advance notice of select publications and receive recognition on our website and in our annual reports.
