Newark Funder Affinity Group: Building the Capacity of Newark’s Nonprofit Sector (Part 1)

Beginning in October 2023, a group of funders got together and commissioned the Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF) to facilitate a series of dialogues with Newark’s nonprofit community to learn how foundations can be supportive of their capacity strengthening needs. The meetings made separate space for the funding community and nonprofit leaders to meet amongst themselves for learning, sharing, and action, and then brought all of us together in May for an honest discussion about the path forward.

We plan to use our next two meetings of the Newark Funder Affinity Group to discuss a collective funder response to the needs expressed by Newark’s nonprofit leadership. The Victoria and Prudential Foundations are supporting the continued engagement of facilitators to support our conversations and to help us map out our path forward.

Cost: Free for CNJG Members; $50 for Non Member Grantmakers
Lunch will be served.

The second meeting will be on Tuesday, October 22nd from 12:00pm to 1:30pm. Register here for part 2.
