A Funders Collaborative
Initially launched by The Burke Foundation, the Community Health Acceleration Partnership, The Henry and Marilyn Taub Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, with partnership and support from The Nicholson Foundation, the New Jersey Birth Equity Funders Alliance has come together to tackle birth inequities in support of Nurture New Jersey, a state-wide maternal and infant health strategic plan.
The Alliance members are deeply committed to leveraging our individual strengths and supporting communities and grassroots leaders to achieve birth equity.
Each organization goes about this differently while striving to be an authentic partner to communities and grassroots leaders.
