CNJG Annual Meeting & Holiday Gathering
I can't believe October is already here! We’re deep in planning for the CNJG 2026 Annual Meeting & Holiday Gathering, and I'm thrilled to invite you to be a part of this special event!
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, December 9, as we come together at The Heldrich Hotel with over 150 CNJG members and special guests to celebrate the holiday season, welcome new members, elect trustees, and connect with colleagues and friends.
While we’re still building out the details of the event, we’re thrilled to announce that
Jen Ford Reedy, President of the Bush Foundation and author of Please Be Good at Philanthropy, will headline a comfy chair conversation as part of our featured event. Jen reminds us that, “foundations can and do change the world.” These kinds of uplifting and inspirational sentiments can be found throughout the book and are exactly the message and feeling we want to embody throughout the Annual Meeting & Holiday Gathering!
In any year, the Annual Meeting is a highlight of the year. But even more so with our 30th anniversary around the corner next year! Building on this excitement, I invite you to support the Annual Meeting of Members through sponsorship, grant, or special contribution. Whether you've sponsored it before or are considering it for the first time, this is an incredible opportunity to show your support for CNJG and help us kick off 30 years.
We offer a variety of sponsorship options to fit any level of interest, and we're happy to tailor a package to meet your needs. Your support will help underwrite the event and is a valuable opportunity not only to give back to CNJG, but to highlight your commitment to the philanthropic community and its ongoing work in New Jersey. If you'd like more information regarding sponsorship, reach out to me or Development Associate Fortunata Cuomo.
A big thank you to our sponsors to date - we couldn't do this without you! Special thanks to Signature Sponsor – Prudential; Contributing Sponsors – The Campbell’s Company, Devils Youth Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and Wells Fargo; Supporting Sponsor - Grunin Foundation: and Community Sponsor - Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey.
Thank you for your continued engagement with CNJG. I can’t wait to see you at the CNJG Annual Meeting & Holiday Gathering in December. Register today! Until then, enjoy the beauty of fall!
Warmly,
Theresa Jacks, President and CEO
Council of New Jersey Grantmakers
