An Independent Philanthropic Organization

The African American Fund of New Jersey (AAF/NJ) promotes self help, stability and well-being within the community.

We receive support through private and public contributions:

- Corporate Sponsorship
- Endowments
- Payroll Deductions
- Annual Charitable Campaigns
- Volunteerism
- Online Donations

For every dollar raised, approximately 75¢ is reinvested through grants into New Jersey's communities. Only 25¢ is used to pay administrative and fund-raising costs.

Another source of revenue comes from renting our facilities - the Ambrose/Ward Mansion, AAF/NJ's headquarters in East Orange and the BUF Health and Human Services Facility in Plainfield - for receptions, corporate and government functions, private events, and location sites for feature films and magazine photo sessions.
