    Summary

    The Schumann Fund for New Jersey is a tax-exempt, private foundation, incorporated as a corporation not for pecuniary profit under the laws of the State of New Jersey. Schumann Fund program priorities fall into four categories:

    • EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT - We support efforts to heighten the chances of academic and social success for young children, especially the urban poor, by supporting programs and policies that provide high quality early childhood education and care to children from birth to eight years old.
    • ESSEX COUNTY - We support local programs directed at meeting community needs, with particular focus on social and educational services for families with young children that will have a long-term impact on addressing community problems.
    • PUBLIC POLICY - We support efforts to engage the public in informed discussion of important policy issues facing the State of New Jersey, particularly in the areas of school reform and educational innovation. We also support efforts to implement and evaluate policies that will ensure the effective provision of educational and social services to families and children
