Community foundations: Combining the power of people and philanthropy

For over 45 years, the Community Foundation of New Jersey (CFNJ) has united with community members to create a lasting philanthropic legacy and supported charities to make a greater collective impact.

We are one of more than 800 community foundations across the nation that manages philanthropic funds on behalf of individuals, families, businesses, and organizations. As a Community Foundation, we can take a flexible, personal approach to giving because our experienced team manages a range of giving vehicles and understands the unique contours of our communities. And we are committed to helping you achieve your goals of integrating philanthropy into your major life and tax-planning decisions.

We not only provide tailored options to direct and manage our fundholders’ charitable giving. CFNJ’s staff also works closely with them to create a purposeful legacy, while improving lives and solving complex challenges.

Our team can assist you with:

• Prioritizing tax benefits. CFNJ funds can help you incorporate charitable giving into your financial and estate planning in simple and tax-beneficial ways.

• Securing full support. Giving should be easy and convenient, so we offer a full range of support to you — delivering as many grants as you wish annually.

• Measuring your impact. We can help you explore, plan, and create a customized charitable strategy and offer our expertise on how to reach your objectives.

We currently manage $1 billion in assets and 1,200 funds. As your philanthropic partner, we can be involved in designing and executing your current or future giving plan — at whatever level you choose.
