The NJLM Educational Foundation

Incorporated in 2004, the NJLM Educational Foundation is a non-partisan informational resource for local government that offers timely research and a proactive approach to resolving the complex issues affecting New Jersey’s diverse communities. The Foundation provides a forum within which municipal officials, academics, government officials, business leaders, and other stakeholders can share their visions of New Jersey; their hopes for the future of public policy; and their solutions to the compelling challenges facing the State.

The NJLM Educational Foundation is a separate entity but linked to the New Jersey State League of Municipalities (NJLM) through a shared vision and direction. It is led by its own Board of Directors that includes members from government, private sector, higher education, public utilities and other sectors.
