About Us

Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation is a private foundation based in New Jersey, that supports, centers, and connects communities and changemakers who are working toward a just and equitable state.

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

Our mission is to close the state’s racial wealth gap by investing—through grants and other investments—in community-rooted solutions that increase economic security and mobility, expand safe and affordable housing, and create greater housing choice. Concentrating in Atlantic City, Camden, Newark, Paterson, and Trenton while supporting statewide partners, we back policies and practices that remove structural barriers so wealth is built—and kept—across generations. 

We are deeply grateful to the many people and organizations with whom we have partnered; we are energized by what we have learned and have been able to accomplish together.
