Join us for one more members-only Engage and Exchange Luncheon—this time at the Boys and Girls Club of Newark. We'll be joined by Samra Haider, President and CEO, Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, who will share insights into the Foundation’s grantmaking strategy and its commitment to closing the racial wealth gap in New Jersey through community-centered partnerships and investment in housing, economic mobility, and local infrastructure.

This in-person gathering brings the spirit of our virtual Engage and Exchange conversations to life, nurturing meaningful connections and resource-sharing among NRBP members.

In addition to the conversation with Samra Haider, attendees will also have the opportunity to tour BGCN's space and learn more about their impactful work supporting children and families in Newark.

This members-only event is a great opportunity to share ideas, build relationships, and explore potential collaborations.
