Much has changed since For Momentum’s first survey of corporate decision makers. They have found, across the board, that stakeholders have higher expectations of companies and their cause platforms.

But how are the corporate partnership decision makers reacting to these increased pressures? For Momentum polled seasoned corporate partner pros to learn more about their partnership perspectives. Their feedback, summarized in this report, provides timely, data-driven insights and comparative analysis to help cause practitioners navigate complexity in the social impact marketplace and set strategy to create next level partnerships.

The Community FoodBank of New Jersey, the state’s largest anti-hunger and anti-poverty organization, has received a $100,000 grant from Bank of America, it announced Wednesday.

The grant will provide general operating support for the organization, which aims to end food insecurity in a state where nearly 1 million people are food-insecure, including more than 260,000 children.

CFBNJ serves 15 of the state’s 21 counties through food distribution and support services.

“We are immensely grateful for Bank of America’s longtime support and for this generous grant that helps to fund our mission,” Elizabeth McCarthy, CEO and president of CFBNJ, said in a prepared statement. “We appreciate Bank of America’s continued investment in building a food-secure future.”
