Our Approach
The Collective: Women United in Philanthropy
New Jersey’s first women’s giving circle, harnessing the collective power of women to create change in their communities. Based on the principle of “one gift, one vote”, Women United members award high-impact grants to fund innovative solutions to the economic challenges facing women in New Jersey.
Responding to Disaster and Crisis: The Compassion Fund
Created in 2001 to support North Jersey families following 9/11, The Compassion Fund helps communities throughout New Jersey cope in times of sudden disasters or community crisis. Grants support front-line workers and resources aimed at expanding care to those in critical need.
Fighting Food Insecurity: Action Against Hunger
With an ever-growing awareness of hunger in our communities, Action Against Hunger is a funding initiative aimed at mobilizing resources to bring food to people who need it and to identify and address the underlying issues that cause hunger in our community.
