CNJG is partnering with the Center for Non-Profits to have non-profits complete a rapid-response survey to scan the needs from the non-profit sector during this pandemic. Linda Czipo, President of the Center for Nonprofits, will then join us on a video call for CNJG members on Friday, March 20 to share the results of the survey.

After her presentation, we offer the time and space for funders to share what you are doing differently, and strategies to address the community's needs.

NJM Insurance Group said it recently made a $100,000 donation to benefit hunger relief efforts across the mid-Atlantic region.

The monies are part of the West Trenton-based firm’s yearlong commitment to supporting communities, which now totals more than $2 million in donations in 2022.

NJM’s support of communities is rooted in a culture of purpose-driven service. The company directs charitable contributions toward organizations that support arts and culture, health, community assistance, safety and financial literacy. Other areas of focus include education and enrichment and revitalization programs such as those offered by social service organizations and food banks.

“NJM is a service organization working on behalf of our policyholders and the communities in which they live and work,” Mitch Livingston, NJM CEO and president, stated. “We partner with nonprofits and organizations dedicated to delivering needed resources that can positively impact lives, and we are privileged to support these causes throughout the region.”

CNJG is pleased to partner with the Office of Internet Connectivity and Growth (OCIG) within the National Telecommunications and Information Administration at the U.S. Department of Commerce on this series to help the funding community know about the federal government’s investment into broadband access, and how communities, residents and organizations can take advantage of these funding opportunities.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and the New Jersey Office of Broadband Connectivity are hosting a series of public virtual roundtable meetings, which will take place once per month from February through July 2023.  Join us to learn more about Internet for all, Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) and the Digital Equity Grant funding planning in New Jersey. 

These meetings are intended to create open communication and collaboration on BEAD and DE projects.  This first meeting is an introduction to these programs, explains the coordination between NTIA and the NJ Office of Broadband Connectivity, and outlines upcoming important upcoming dates.

The Provident Bank Foundation on Tuesday announced the recipients of its 2023 Signature Grant cycle. The foundation awarded three $100,000 grants to support nonprofit organizations administering bold and innovative programs focused on long-term, sustainable change within the communities they serve.

The foundation’s Signature Grant program emphasizes sustainable community enhancement and meaningful impact, providing flexible funding support for programs, projects and initiatives that propose solutions to chronic problems impacting quality of life in the communities served by Provident Bank.

“At the Signature Grant level, we seek partnerships with nonprofit organizations that are addressing systemic issues at their root causes,” Samantha Plotino, executive director of the Provident Bank Foundation, said. “I am incredibly excited to partner with this year’s Signature Grant recipients as they break down barriers to economic self-sufficiency by focusing on workforce development, education and housing through an equity lens.”
