The Opportunity Fund is a portfolio of investments that promote fairness and equity, justice and opportunity. It aims to provide a responsive capacity to address issues that cut across the foundation’s program areas such as efforts to protect and strengthen democratic institutions, advance civil rights, counteract hate and racism, support immigrant and refugee communities, and provide legal supports to underserved communities.

For a community to truly thrive, it needs a vibrant educational and cultural life. In our latest Mission, Money & Markets blog, read about New Jersey Community Capital’s Creative Placemaking work that revitalizes communities by putting underutilized real estate to productive use, creating community cohesion and enriching the intellectual fabric of the community along the way.

The Leadership and Infrastructure Funding Team (LIFT) is a cross-departmental committee with representatives from across the foundation’s programs, practices and operational departments. LIFT’s primary goal is to support equity-focused talent and leadership development across the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors. This includes strategic grantmaking and capacity-building opportunities for the foundation’s grantees.
