Jewish Family & Children’s Services of Northern New Jersey (JFCSNNJ) has been selected as one of 15 Jewish organizations across the U.S. to participate in PRESIDE. This program will allow JFCSNNJ to expand its capacity to reach more people within the communities of Bergen, Passaic and Hudson counties.

Developed and operated by a well-respected national foundation, PRESIDE is not only a matching grant opportunity, but also a unique 18-month program that provides a select group of nonprofit leaders with critical training and consulting to guide their organizations into the future. This training program is teaching JFCSNNJ how to operate using Jewish values to build a sustainable culture of intentional leadership and effective governance within its organization

Susan Greenbaum, CEO of JFCSNNJ, is humbled by the opportunity presented by PRESIDE. “We are deeply grateful for being chosen to participate in PRESIDE. As our agency continues to expand to deliver additional services to more people in our community, this opportunity opens up unlimited possibilities for the future.”

Debbie Harris, president of the board of directors at JFCSNNJ, is part of the leadership team that is receiving training from PRESIDE. She feels that “not only is this an opportunity for JFCSNNJ to grow its capacity as a human services organization, but this grant will allow our agency to establish an ongoing commitment to those who need our help within the community.”

As part of the PRESIDE Grant, JFCSNNJ will be receiving matching funds for specific donations raised during this 18-month time period. As such, JFCSNNJ is initiating its first significant fundraising campaign, which will run through August of 2020.
