Grantmaking FAQs
What are your program priorities, and what do you fund?
We envision a just and equitable New Jersey where people of all races and communities have equitable access to opportunities to thrive.
Our goal is to increasingly direct our funding to organizations working to address the root causes and repair of structural racism and inequity to transform lives in New Jersey.
We know inequities compound and intersect in ways that are not siloed or singular. We support work across issue areas. Lear more at Our Work.
Do you fund beyond your program priorities?
As a place-based funder supporting organizations and initiatives that benefit communities in the state of New Jersey, we are focused on and committed to the vibrancy of our State. There are some circumstances, at our discretion and outreach, in which we may provide grants beyond our program priorities. This may include grants to state-wide intermediaries and networks that provide a unique benefit to communities in New Jersey and crisis response support to meet the real-time needs of the state. Dodge Foundation has a long history of supporting our state in times of crisis, from 9/11 to Superstorm Sandy to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we will continue to provide crisis funding by invitation and through our outreach.
