Community Foundation of New Jersey

Since 1979, the Community Foundation of New Jersey (cfnj) has been a trusted partner in the state working with hundreds of families, businesses, and foundations to turn private resources into charitable funds that benefit causes and communities. From creative projects that tackle critical societal or policy issues to scholarship funds, corporate philanthropy, legacy funds and donor advised funds, the Community Foundation manages nearly every kind of giving vehicle and tailors solutions to meet critical needs. Cfnj made 8,000 individual grants in 2022 totaling $100 million. Cfnj currently stewards more than $830 million in charitable assets, making grants to nonprofit organizations in line with the advice of active fundholders or philanthropic goals of those who leave bequests.

Other program service expenses including salaries, employee benefits and various other expenses to carry out the Foundation's mission and programs.

The Community Foundation of New Jersey (cfnj) sponsors several special projects each year, often initiated to address an urgent or region-specific need. Additionally, cfnj continues to build on the work of a legal fellow who represents unaccompanied immigrant children and trains pro bono counsel in impossibly complex (and often adversarial) juvenile status proceedings. Cfnj is also now part of a broader funder collaborative of local and national funders that underwrites a consortium of legal and immigrants' rights advocates working to stabilize the status of immigrant children and their families in New Jersey.
