2023 CNJG Membership Renewal

Thank you for your membership investment with CNJG!

We have a contactless renewal process for 2023, and are no longer mailing renewal notices. The “primary contact” for each member will receive the renewal notification in mid-October, 2022.

“[CNJG has] done an amazing job of meeting people where they need to be in terms of providing additional resources and access to people in the know to help us navigate through very unchartered waters.”
-Margarethe Laurenzi, Maher Charitable Foundation

The dues investment for 2023 includes a Board-approved 3% increase. Members should base their 2023 dues on either:

1. Your 2022 giving or
2. An average of the past three years in giving (2022, 2021, 2020).

This means, your CNJG dues will be slightly different for the 2023 year. The chart of dues, based on your annual giving is below:

For additional criteria for dues calculations (ie. Associate members, government agencies, sun-setting foundations, those headquartered outside the state, and other special circumstances), please visit the Membership Policies section of our join page.

The important thing for CNJG is knowing that you will renew. Of lesser importance to CNJG is when payment is received, but payment is appreciated before June 30. Please contact Craig Weinrich, Director of Member Services at 609-414-7110 x802 to make payment arrangements by check, EFT, or credit card (CNJG will add a 3% fee for memberships paid by credit card).

Leadership Gifts

“Engagement with other COVID funds throughout the state as we think about how to be most strategic have been really helpful to understand what others are doing and the implications of how we do our grantmaking activities.”
-Andy Fraizer, Community Foundation of South Jersey

Some members include an additional gift to help cover the costs of CNJG’s operations. Membership dues cover about 70% of our core operating costs. These welcomed and unrestricted funds help underwrite the many programs and services that CNJG provides to our members and the philanthropic sector.

Please indicate your additional leadership gift on the renewal form when you complete it.

2023 Renewal Timeline

• October 2022 – CNJG membership renewal notices are emailed to the designated “primary” contact;
• March 31, 2023 – CNJG membership renewal commitments due (payment is not necessarily due)
• June 30, 2023 – Dues should be paid by this date. Some members pay in the second half of the year, and CNJG appreciates knowing before then that you are renewing. Members that have not paid by this date, or indicated to CNJG that payment is forthcoming, will be considered lapsed and removed as members.
• Mid-October, 2023 – Renewals for 2024 will be emailed.

2023 Member Renewal Process

1. The link to our online renewal notice will be emailed to your designated “primary contact” in mid-October. In subsequent reminders, the invoices will be emailed to both the "primary contact" and the "billing contacts" at the organization. If you have not received any renewal notice, please let Craig know. You can complete the renewal notice here.
2. Complete and return the renewal notice with either:
   The amount of dues you are paying (based on your giving outlined above) and when CNJG can anticipate the payment.
   or
   Your pledge to pay at a later point in the year. We appreciate payment before July, but understand some members choose to pay later.
3. Submit the renewal notice/invoice with payment or your pledge to renew by March 31.
4. Update your contact information by having one of your “administrative contacts” update this information on the website. There are tutorials on our website about this process, or contact Craig with questions.

Looking Ahead to 2024

Our expectation is that for 2024, we’ll ask members to base their giving on your past three years average, or on your 2023 giving. We will also include the annual CNJG board-approved 3% increase in dues. CNJG has mapped out the dues rates for the next several years, so members can budget accordingly.

Thank you for supporting CNJG as we strengthen and promote effective philanthropy throughout the state.
