Jewish Women's Foundation of New Jersey (JWF-NJ)

Giving Together/Granting for Change

The Jewish Women’s Foundation of New Jersey (JWF-NJ) transforms the lives of individual women and girls through hands-on philanthropy and collective grant making. Through our giving, we invite women to be agents for change and to positively impact the lives of women and girls in New Jersey.

Since 2007, JWF-NJ grants and special initiatives have raised awareness of pressing issues and made a sustainable difference in women’s and girls' lives at all levels:

  • Local: Make the Road New Jersey, Elizabeth, New Jersey – Immigrant Women Leadership and Media Training
  • State: Volunteer Lawyers for Justice – New Jersey Trafficking Victims Legal Assistance Program
  • National: National JWF Funding Collaborative – Fostering Employment Equity for Women in Israel
  • International: Ruach Nashit – Financial Management for Women Victims of Violence
  • Special Initiatives: National Council of Jewish Women – Women Veterans’ Initiative

JWF-NJ members have made 140 grants to more than 80 organizations totaling over $1.3 million.
