Women in Development of New Jersey (WID-NJ) is a dynamic association dedicated to the advancement of women in their development and nonprofit careers. WID-NJ’s members and Board of Directors recognize the unique challenges and opportunities women experience firsthand as fundraisers, organizational leaders, grant writers, consultants, event coordinators, researchers, communication professionals, and much more.

WID-NJ was established originally as Women in Development - Mercer County. In 2021, we changed our name to encompass our growing community. Today, there are more than 160 members from across the State of New Jersey.

WID-NJ provides a supportive environment to collectively share knowledge, stay up to date on best practices, make individual connections, and build a strong network of female nonprofit leaders.

Women in Development of New Jersey's mission is to promote and support the advancement of women in their development and nonprofit careers.
