NJR's Community Commitment

We’re Working with You to Make Our Communities Better

NJR has a longstanding commitment to help make the communities we serve stronger and more sustainable by supporting education, wellness and the environment. 

Thriving communities create opportunities that allow residents to live fuller, more rewarding lives. Our company is proud to help make the communities where we love and work better  together. 

Community "VISION"
Our Volunteers Inspiring Service in Our Neighborhoods (VISION) program provides NJR employees and retirees, along with their families and friends, the opportunity to give back to the community. We also encourage students, from local schools within our service area, to participate in VISION projects. Our team of volunteers contributes thousands of hours at over 50 community events each year. For more information on VISION, email vision@njng.com.

 

Creating Affordable Housing for Families
Through our Home Ownership Program, we are proud to provide an opportunity for qualified working families in our service territory to become first-time homeowners. To date, over 350 homes have been completed through our support of nonprofits inlcuding Interfaith Neighbors, Inc., Homes for All, Inc., Morris Habitat for Humanity, Monmouth Habitat for Humanity, Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity, and Homes Now.

Giving and Gift-matching
Our employee giving and gift-matching program inspires philanthropy, allowing employees to make a greater impact. Employee fundraising efforts further benefit nonprofit organizations near and dear to their hearts. Each year, employees donate to local and national nonprofits during a company-wide annual fundraising effort. NJR matches these donations, dollar for dollar.
