Our Work

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

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

We focus our time, resources, and energy on the issues of economic equity and justice. Our goal is for communities across New Jersey to have abundant resources and opportunities to thrive. We are particularly focused on:

• Housing equity
• Economic security and mobility
• Community infrastructure (safe, healthy, thriving neighborhoods)
• Policy and advocacy

While we do provide support to statewide organizations, we are particularly focused on five communities across New Jersey: Atlantic City, Camden, Newark, Paterson, and Trenton.
