Catalyzing New Jersey Communities: Building Local Coalitions

Wednesday, December 10, 2025 - 10:00 am to 3:00 pm
Location: The Heldrich Hotel & Conference Center
10 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ 08901

Join over 125 of your fellow CJNG members and special guests for a day to celebrate the end of the calendar year, connect with colleagues, and explore this year's theme: Catalyzing New Jersey Communities: Building Local Coalitions. We will celebrate our collective impact, share stories of success, learn from one another’s experiences, and collectively envision a more connected, resilient, and equitable future for New Jersey. The Annual Meeting & Holiday Gathering includes a panel discussion that will explore the profound and tangible ways that philanthropy can move beyond traditional grantmaking to become powerful coalition builders for lasting change.

During the luncheon, we will convene our annual business meeting to elect new trustees, recognize new CNJG members, and report on our activities for the year. There will be time to connect and collaborate with colleagues and friends, old and new.

The day kicks off with a New Member Orientation for any new CNJG members or new staff of existing members to learn more about CNJG’s many offerings. Separate registration is required.

Prior to the Annual Meeting, CNJG will offer a deeper dive into the Impala platform that will launch in New Jersey for all grantmakers and all nonprofits. During this workshop, we will showcase the Impala for Grantmakers product which can help you:

• Conduct due diligence for potential and returning grantees
• find nonprofits that you might not yet know
• find who else is funding in a particular geographic or topical area
• find which nonprofits are working in a particular geographic or topical area
• find connections to other funders
• communicate to potential applicants what your funding criteria is
