Celebrating a Century of Impact
Building on our legacy of impact, we stepped into the next century ready to leverage our voice, relationships, and resources to reimagine the Foundation’s approach to addressing inequality in Newark.
We celebrated this milestone with community and educational events spotlighting local, state, and national leaders, and awarding signature grants.

Bold Strategies for Community Power
We are championing bold strategies to grow community power and self-determination in Newark.
We are aligning our resources, strategies, and staffing to partner with the Newark community to take on the core causes of intergenerational poverty and inequality.
