The Fund for New Jersey is pleased to announce that it is seeking qualified candidates for its Leonard Lieberman Philanthropy Fellowship. This two-year fellowship position is named in honor of New Jersey public policy leader Leonard Lieberman, who served The Fund with distinction from 1987 to 2015 and led the Board as Chair from 1997 to 2008. We encourage aspiring leaders in public policy to apply for this two-year fellowship position, beginning August 2025. The Lieberman Fellow/Program Associate will learn about all aspects of the work of a private foundation and will work to address many of New Jersey’s most significant policy issues. A full position description can be found here. Review of applications will continue until the position is filled.
Working to improve the quality of public policy decision‑making on the most significant issues affecting the people of New Jersey and our region
At a Crossroads
Despite New Jersey’s strengths the future prosperity of our state is at risk. We have, for years, refused to make the public investments needed for New Jersey’s communities to thrive and, by those decisions, have squandered our potential. This is the time for us to confront New Jersey’s problems head on and to seek consensus on the policies that divide us. Inaction is a “road” no longer open.
