September 23, 2020 – New Jersey Policy Perspective (NJPP) announced today that it has hired Jennifer Fekete-Donners as the think-tank’s new Development Director. In this role, Jennifer will direct the organization’s fundraising.

She is a skilled development writer and communicator, with particular expertise in annual giving, fundraising event management, and donor cultivation.

Prior to her time at the Michener, Jennifer was Development Director at One Simple Wish and the Manager of Membership and Annual Support at the Princeton University Art Museum. She received her Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in History of Art from Cornell University.

“I have called New Jersey home for fifteen years, and am so very proud to have the opportunity to use the skills I have acquired across my career to give back to this community,” said NJPP Development Director Jennifer Fekete-Donners. “I am thrilled to join the team at NJPP, knowing that I will be able to do my part to advocate for policies that build a fairer, more equitable New Jersey.”
