The Schumann Fund for New Jersey is dedicated to fostering economic mobility, resilient communities, and support for children and families, particularly those of low-income and of color. Their mission encompasses advancing racial equity and justice, particularly in areas impacting youth, such as welfare, juvenile justice, and immigration systems.
The Schumann Fund for New Jersey Grant focuses on three program priorities: ensuring access to affordable homes and promoting healthy communities; supporting early childhood development and education for low-income children and families of color; and advancing reforms in child welfare and juvenile justice to support racial equity and youth justice. The fund backs organizations engaged in organizing communities, implementing effective programs that center on low-income children and families of color, and advocating for equitable public policy.
