Our Work

At the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, we envision a just and equitable New Jersey where people of all races and communities have equitable access to opportunities to thrive.

We envision a just and equitable New Jersey where people of all races and communities have equitable access to opportunities to thrive.  

In our grantmaking, 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 and prioritize organizations and partners that use a variety of strategies and tactics. 

Through grants, capacity-building, and other critical investments, the Dodge Foundation resources changemakers to transform New Jersey into a just and equitable state.
