The League of Women Voters
of New Jersey

a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization whose purpose is to promote political responsibility
through informed and active participation in government

The Women’s Fund of New Jersey (WFNJ) was established in June 1995 with a mission to be a reliable and stable source of financial support for member organizations dedicated to improving the lives of women and, in so doing, improving society as a whole. The League of Women Voters of New Jersey Education Fund was a founding member.

With its vision to advance the equality of women; advocate against violence; fight all forms of discrimination; promote reproductive freedom; improve the lives of women; and educate the public, WFNJ raises and distributes money to more than sixteen member organizations throughout the state. Its primary method is through workplace giving campaigns in the public and private sector. The League has received thousands of dollars over the past three years through these efforts.

This year, the Women’s Fund will be campaigning in the following locations:

Corporate:

• Summit Bancorp
• Fox & Fox LLP
• Merck-Medco Managed Care, LLC
• Prudential
• Larson Financial Resources
• NJ Coalition for Battered Women
• NJ Education Association
• AT&T
• CIT Group Inc.
• Kings Supermarkets

Public Sector:

• County Campaigns (Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Passaic, Middlesex, Monmouth, Gloucester, Atlantic)
• Municipal Campaigns (Cherry Hill, Northern NJ Conbined Federal Campaign, Southern NJ Combined Federal Campaign)
• State Campaigns - The Women's Fund of New Jersey is now the employee charitable campaign for state workers.

Encourage your family and friends who may participate in the above-mentioned campaigns to give to the Women’s Fund of New Jersey. Even if the Women’s Fund is not a formal participant in their workplace campaigns, they can still designate their money to the Women’s Fund of New Jersey by writing in their name on their campaign giving form.

The more campaign locations, the more money raised for important organizations like ours. If you know someone who can link the Women’s Fund into their workplace-giving program, please contact the Women’s Fund office at (908) 851-7774 with the information.
