This year at the CNJG biennial Spring Conference we will explore challenges for the social sector as our state recovers and rebuilds from Hurricane Sandy. Join us as we learn from our colleagues who have first-hand experience in post-disaster recovery, and strengthen New Jersey’s already formidable, cohesive social sector. Register Now!
It is difficult to be patient when lives, and indeed entire communities, have been torn apart. So when Gov. Chris Christie famously declared “Shame on Congress” and slammed elected officials for delaying aid to states devastated by superstorm Sandy, New Jersey residents applauded.

Beginning immediately after Superstorm Sandy struck New Jersey, The Council of New Jersey Grantmakers has been working intensively to share information, resources, best practice strategies, and news relating to New Jersey’s relief and recovery efforts.
Please visit CNJG’s Post-Sandy Response section for a wealth of information relating to NJ’s Relief and Recovery effort along with NJ’s philanthropic response, best practice guides, nonprofits on the ground, latest news articles and announcements, and the audio recordings of the Council’s Educational Disaster Response conference call series.
