Personal Philanthropy

Because donors’ situations are unique and change over time, we tailor philanthropic plans around all types of asset contributions — from simple to complicated. You may contribute any type of asset to your fund, at any time. Contribute what is best for you, your family, and your community.

We have over 1,000 fundholders who have told us that these are their top five reasons for working with CFNJ:

We make it easy to give effectively. Our fundholders initiate thousands of grants each year to causes they care about. All they have to do is choose where to give, and they can feel secure that they have a trusted partner in CFNJ who honors their philanthropic
We’re fiercely loyal. We make donations to the nonprofits you recommend, and we’ll perpetuate you legacy according to your goals and values. You decide where you want to drive change, and we’ll do the research, build the partnerships, and manage the follow up to ensure your philanthropy lives on in the way you value.

We’re flexible. Maybe you want to give through a donor advised fund, or perhaps you’d like to give directly and have the Community Foundation steward those funds. We also offer a range of scholarship funds, specific issue funds, designated agency funds and other special projects. We accept a wide range of assets as well, enabling you to be creative with your philanthropy.

We care about the things that are important to you. We have a stake in the same communities and spend each day thinking about ways to foster positive change from High Point to Cape May.

Our reputation for results is well-earned. New Jersey’s largest companies, nonprofits, and venture philanthropists turn to us when they want to effect change for the causes they care about.
