To improve the lives of children and families in Newark, New Jersey, and to protect water resources and preserve open space statewide.

To fulfill its Newark mission, the Foundation seeks to improve educational outcomes for young people, stabilize and revitalize distressed neighborhoods, improve the quality of the urban environment, promote civic engagement and leadership, increase job opportunities, help children develop into healthy, creative adults, and strengthen fragile families.  Statewide grantmaking related to the environment targets the New Jersey Highlands the Pinelands National Reserve, and the Kittatiny Ridge & Valley Region.

Victoria Foundation is one of the oldest private foundations in America. Hendon Chubb created the Foundation in 1924 in order to improve the lives of those less fortunate than himself. Named for his mother, Victoria, the Foundation provided assistance to needy individuals through the 1950s. In the 1960s, the foundation began focusing more on Newark and especially on access to education, enrichment, and job opportunities as well as social justice issues such as civil rights and poverty.
