The Communities We Serve
The Community Foundation of South Jersey helps donors throughout the 8-county South Jersey region make prudent decisions about their charitable dollars. South Jersey is made up of community’s as diverse as the people who live here. From cities, to suburban towns, to rural communities, shore towns, and everything in between, South Jersey non-profits serve a wide range of needs — each unique to its location and population.
The common thread that runs through each neighborhood, town, township, city or county is community pride and a love for finding smart ways to help others overcome adversity. At Community Foundation of South Jersey, we understand that love and work closely with our fundholders to identify the best ways for them to make a difference in the communities and with the causes they care about.
