Northern New Jersey Community Foundation

The Northern New Jersey Community Foundation (NNJCF) builds connections, pools resources, and provides leadership to enrich quality of life in the eight counties we serve: Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Sussex, Union and Warren.

Much of our work involves placemaking. We help shape the shared places where people live, work and interact – from a small park or street corner to the entire North Jersey region.

NNJCF works to grow:

• More Creative and Inspiring Places
• Greener and Healthier Places
• More Places of Belonging and Opportunity

The Northern New Jersey Community Foundation enhances quality of life in North Jersey by:

• Building diverse and productive partnerships and convening stakeholders to address pressing social issues.
• Producing community-oriented public art to enhance public spaces. The NNJCF is one of Bergen County’s most active producers of public art.
• Partnering with communities on green infrastructure and environmental justice initiatives.
• Providing knowledge about climate change and developing programs for its remediation.
• Advocating for practices and government policies that support goals we share with friends and partners.
• Focusing attention and providing education on issues through webinars, workshops and conferences.
• Advising donors who seek to support causes, communities and places in North Jersey or around the world.
• Providing grants to nonprofits which work to enhance places in North Jersey.
