The team at the Community Foundation is implementing a new fundholder portal system that will improve your experience and provide up-to-the-minute information. The CFSJ team is excited to launch this system in June 2022 for the value it adds to engagement with you. You will receive an email invitation to the new portal on or around June 20, 2022. If you access the current (outgoing) portal after May 20, 2022, please understand that the information may not be current. Lee Albright will be your point of contact for questions at lalbright@communityfoundationsj.org and/or 856-528-3385.
As a result of the new system deployment, there will be temporary impacts on engagement with us through the portal. We understand this is an inconvenience and will work to mitigate the consequences.
