Complete Count NJ

New Jersey needs a Fair and Accurate Census 2020. Check out our new website, which includes interactive maps to find Hard to Count (HTC) areas near you, resources, news and more! Almost everything we know about our population and our communities comes from information collected during the decennial census and its related surveys. When New Jersey residents are not counted, the state loses funding and influence. Read the full policy paper.

The Passing of Judge John Gibbons

The Trustees and staff of The Fund for New Jersey honor the legacy of our longtime Trustee Judge John Gibbons, who died December 9, 2018. We extend our deepest condolences to Judge Gibbons’ family, including his four daughters, three sons, sister, brother, and their families. He will be missed by all of us at The Fund for New Jersey.

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.
