Last month, the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation brought together more than 100 people representing 44 organizations for its first-ever partner and grantee convening. This event was a full day designed around the belief that we can achieve greater impact together, in true partnership, than working in silos towards our goals.
The Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation is pleased to announce the election of Dan Fatton as our new Board Chair and Anisa Kamadoli Costa as Board Vice Chair. Dan and Anisa have served as Dodge Foundation trustees for 7 years, and both bring deep commitment to the Foundation's mission of building a just and equitable New Jersey.
The Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation has approved more than $11 million in new grant and investment commitments — $6.08 million in Housing Choice and $5.05 million in Economic Mobility — as part of our commitment to closing the racial wealth gap in New Jersey. The grants reflect a deliberate, evidence-driven strategy to move families from economic exclusion toward financial security and autonomy.
