Northern NJ Community Foundation (NNJCF)

nd citizen groups in Northern New Jersey to improve community life. The foundation partners with these entities to identify and resolve regional problems and opportunities by sharing ideas, best practices, services, and resources. One of NNJCF's current initiatives is ArtsBergen, a regional arts alliance that aims to support, connect, and promote the creative sector in Bergen County. The alliance works with various stakeholders, including artists, arts organizations, businesses, and municipal leaders, to raise the value of the arts as vital to a community's cohesiveness and prosperity. ArtsBergen's mission is to foster engagement with the arts by the community and raise awareness of the transformative power of the arts in building communities. The alliance provides marketing, advocacy, networking, and programs/events for arts-related organizations, connecting them with the broader Bergen County community. By working together with local governments, school districts, businesses, non-profit organizations, and citizen groups, NNJCF and ArtsBergen can achieve more in improving community life and promoting the arts than they could alone. Together, they can leverage their resources, expertise, and networks to create a more vibrant and connected community in Northern New Jersey.
