The Council of New Jersey Grantmakers, New Jersey Center for Nonprofits, and data business intelligence platform Impala announced Sept. 19 the upcoming launch of the New Jersey Philanthropy Hub.
The hub is intended as a one-stop platform designed to bring clarity and transparency to the state’s philanthropic sector.
The hub compiles billions of data points on every New Jersey–based nonprofit and every foundation across the United States that funds them. With detailed classifications spanning issue areas such as education, environment, and arts and culture, the hub creates a “map” of philanthropy in New Jersey, revealing where funding is flowing, where gaps exist, and where opportunities for collaboration can drive greater impact.
Impala is a unified data business intelligence platform for the philanthropic sector. Impala leverages billions of data points to provide accessible, actionable insights for funders, nonprofits, and networks. By making critical data transparent and easy to use, Impala empowers organizations to fund, measure, and achieve social impact more effectively.
“The New Jersey Philanthropy Hub will be a game-changer for our state,” said Theresa Jacks, president & CEO of the Council of New Jersey Grantmakers. “By providing funders with free and easy access to high-quality data about their current and potentially new nonprofit partners, we are giving both the philanthropic and nonprofit sectors an extremely helpful tool that is especially needed in light of the tremendous pressures facing the social sector as a whole.”
By combining Impala’s data technology with the reach of the Council of New Jersey Grantmakers and the New Jersey Center for Nonprofits, the New Jersey Philanthropy Hub democratizes access to information and strengthens collaboration across the sector. The hub is free to use, ensuring that nonprofits, funders, policymakers, researchers, and the public can all benefit from greater visibility into the state’s philanthropic ecosystem.
“In a time of enormous challenge for the nonprofit community, the New Jersey Philanthropy Hub offers a wide array of opportunities,” said Linda M. Czipo, president & CEO of the New Jersey Center for Nonprofits. “Through the hub, organizations of all sizes will have access to the same high-quality data and insights, enabling stronger connections and more equitable partnerships among nonprofits and funders.”
The launch of the New Jersey Philanthropy Hub will be celebrated with two virtual events: a nonprofit launch event on Thursday, Oct. 23, 12-1 p.m. and a grantmakers launch event on Friday, Oct. 24, 12-1 p.m.
