Invest in our future by investing in Progress!

For nearly 30 years, New Jersey Policy Perspective has worked at the intersection of racial, social, and economic justice, advocating for policies and sound investments to secure a thriving future for everyone in our state.

We ground our work in equity and shared power, putting our research into the hands of people and groups that too often are left out of the policy decisions which majorly impact health, economic security, and empowerment. In 2026, NJPP’s Progress events will engage communities and bring together partners for exciting and informative programs that are open to all at no cost, including:

  • Progress Panel, Spring 2026, March 31, 2026
    Breakfast and panel discussion, time TBD
    Van Vleck House and Gardens, Montclair, NJ
  • Budget and Brews, May 7, 2026
    Networking happy hour and budget panel,
    4:00 pm to 7:00 pm
    Cooper’s Riverview, Trenton, NJ
  • Progress Panel, Fall 2026
    (Date to be Finalized)

Keeping these events free helps amplify diverse voices and better recognizes the importance of the nonmonetary contributions of panelists, speakers, and coorganizers — creating space for our partners to connect with a broader network of potential funders, allies, and supporters.

Invest in Progress today, and you will help ensure that NJPP can continue to offer these learning and networking opportunities at no cost. While support at any level is deeply appreciated and will be recognized accordingly, contributions of $500 to $25,000 will bring with them additional name or logo recognition opportunities in NJPP newsletters and e-blasts, online/on-site signage, spoken recognition at Progress events, and other engagement opportunities.
