We are uniquely positioned to identify, propose and advance practical, actionable innovation in both the public and private sector.

Funders Council
The Terner Center encourages prospective donors to join our existing funders in order to increase our team’s capacity to craft high-impact, research-driven policy that addresses the roots of the nation and California’s housing affordability crisis.
Supporters of the Terner Center who have funded us or pledged at an aggregate $100,000+ level (or the $25,000+ level for nonprofits or government agencies) are included in the Terner Funders Council. This is a joint council for the Terner Center and our sister nonprofit, Terner Housing Innovation Labs (Terner Labs).
The Funders Council meets 1-2 times per year to allow members to informally engage with Terner staff, get unique insights into and offer feedback on current and upcoming work, and network with other members.
