New Member Welcome Paragraph
Each month, we email members our CNJG News newsletter, which has information on our members' grants, announcements, personnel changes and more. We like to introduce our new members to the rest of the membership with a short paragraph about who you are and what you fund.

Sample:

The Stone Foundation of New Jersey is a small family foundation established in 2002. Its mission is to make grants to non-profits in the areas of environmental protection, social justice, education, and the arts with a focus on New Jersey particularly Monmouth County. The Foundation also makes grants to organizations beyond New Jersey which are of particular interest to its board members. Grants are no more than $25,000 and most grants are considerably smaller.

Non-Solicitation Policy

CNJG strives to create a community of practice characterized by mutual respect and trust for philanthropy of all shapes and sizes to connect with each other thereby improving grantmaking in New Jersey. In order to foster a safe, brave, and collegial place where members can share best practices and lessons learned, no fundraising or business development is allowed at CNJG events. Collaborative grantmaking, however, is encouraged.
By joining CNJG, associate members agree to the following non-solicitation policy:
- Soliciting funds, contracts, and consulting clients is strictly prohibited at all CNJG events (with the exception of sponsors and exhibitors for our signature events) and on our digital listservs and platforms.
- For organizations that both raise funds and make grants, your participation in CNJG activities is as a grantmaker only. Staff whose functions are primarily fundraising (e.g., development staff) within institutions that are both grantseeking and grantmaking are not eligible for participation in CNJG activities, with the exception of our Spring Conference/Colloquium for the Social Sector.
- Contact information on CNJG’s Member Directory and other lists is for networking purposes only. Please do not add contact information to your mailing list without an individual’s explicit permission. Please do not use email addresses, phone numbers, or other contact information for soliciting funds, business, or contracts. Please do not forward other members' contact information to grantseekers without their permission.
- CNJG reserves the right to restrict the participation of individuals or organizations whose behavior contravenes the letter or spirit of our non-solicitation policy.
