About Nurture NJ

New Jersey’s maternal mortality rates are among the worst in the nation, ranking 47th in maternal deaths according to America’s Health Rankings. Forty-seven women die, on average, for every 100,000 live births in New Jersey, compared to 20 nationally. For women and babies of color, the statistics are even more dire. A Black mother in New Jersey is seven times more likely to die than a white mother due to pregnancy complications, and a Black baby is three times more likely to die than a white baby in their first year of life. This is one of the widest racial disparities in the nation.

First Lady of New Jersey Tammy Murphy officially launched Nurture NJ in early 2019 as a statewide initiative committed to ensuring equity in maternal and infant health outcomes for Black and brown women, and to reducing overall maternal and infant mortality and morbidity in the state. Nurture NJ is a multipronged, multi-agency initiative that aims to make New Jersey the safest place in the nation to give birth and raise a baby. Improved maternal and infant health outcomes for the state overall will be possible when the racial inequities in health are eliminated. Health equity, in turn, can only occur when racial equity in the social, political, and economic arenas occurs.

The disparities in maternal and infant outcomes are not the result of differences in genes or behaviors but are mostly explained by the differential historical, social, economic, and health environments experienced by Black and brown women. These economic and social differences matter for health; they are determinants of health, and as long as they exist, so will the disparities in maternal and infant health.

Nurture NJ recognizes that addressing these disparities and changing outcomes will require nothing less than the transformation of health, social, economic, and political contexts, systems, and mindsets. As such, Nurture NJ has three primary objectives:

1. Ensure all women are healthy and have access to care before pregnancy, whether or not an individual is actively seeking parenthood.

2. Build a safe, high-quality, equitable system of care and services for all women during prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum care.

3. Ensure supportive community environments and contexts during every other period of a woman’s life so that the conditions and opportunities for health are always available.

About the Nurture NJ Strategic Plan

To advance Nurture NJ and achieve its strategic goals, the Nurture NJ Strategic Plan provides an evidence-based, comprehensive, and actionable plan focused on equity and improved outcomes for all women and infants. The Plan is designed to be an organizing force for government, private stakeholder and community partnership action focused on ensuring women are healthy before pregnancy, building a system of equitable pregnancy-related care, and designing supportive community environments and contexts for mothers and their babies. In order to achieve these proximal outcomes, and the ultimate goal of Nurture NJ, the Plan recommends transformation through nine domains of action that prioritize racial equity, community engagement, and shifts in statewide mindset and ideology.

A Note on Language:

This document and the Nurture NJ Strategic Plan use language conventions that are intended to be universal and inclusive. We use the phrase “maternal and infant health” to refer to the health of pregnant individuals, which can include cisgender females, non-binary individuals, and transgender men, and their biological infants. We do not assume that all individuals that give birth to a child will care for that child, so we refer to caregivers, partners and spouses, and the Nurture NJ Strategic Plan intends to address their wellbeing as well.

Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies (MACP) refers collectively to two grantmaking entities, Margaret A. Cargill Foundation (MACF) and Anne Ray Foundation (ARF). The two foundations have separate boards and investment portfolios but share a common mission of providing meaningful assistance and support to society, the arts, and the environment.

• Margaret A. Cargill Foundation is a private foundation that came into existence upon Ms. Cargill’s death in August 2006. MACF’s assets are approximately $3 billion

As a core element of its philosophy, MACP invests in long-term relationships with key grantee organizations in order to find solutions that are consistent with the values of both parties.
Additionally, MACP is engaging in a diversity, equity, and inclusion process that includes:

Organization Overview:

Dalio Philanthropies is the Dalio family’s philanthropic enterprise, furthering the philanthropic enthusiasms of family members.  Dalio Philanthropies operates with a lean team that enables family members to develop their philanthropic passions, to learn from their passions as they pursue them, and to achieve positive outcomes and impact in those passion areas.

Led by Barbara Dalio, Dalio Education operates as an entrepreneurial team within Dalio Philanthropies, working to strengthen public education in Connecticut by engaging with educators, community leaders, and young people to achieve positive outcomes and greater equity across the state.  Dalio Education leads a results-driven philanthropic platform that includes CTOP and the Connecticut RISE Network (an independent organization co-founded by Dalio Education), as well as several collaborations benefiting students, teachers and other educators, public schools, and communities in Connecticut through an approach that supports educators and emphasizes the development of the whole child.

Dalio Education believes in the value that diversity, equity, and inclusion brings to a team and empowers each member of the team to embrace these values along their personal journey of growth and professional development.

CTOP’s mission is to invest in and help strengthen youth-serving organizations in Connecticut so they can work effectively, reliably, and sustainably with young people ages 14 to 22 who are disengaged or disconnected in order to help them re-engage in and complete secondary education, then transition successfully to the pursuit of post-secondary education, such as a technical certification, military enlistment, or an academic degree – with the ultimate goal that all young people will achieve satisfying employment that supports their agency and self-sufficiency.

Position Overview

Position Summary:

Dalio Education seeks a highly motivated, talented, and dynamic individual to serve as a CTOP Portfolio Director who will be working as part of a team to achieve CTOP’s mission.  The Portfolio Director will “learn by doing” and through full integration with the CTOP team.  He or she will receive active mentoring from senior team members as well as focused professional development through highly engaged supervision as well as through didactic experiences dedicated to his/her professional growth.  The principal work in this position consists of developing and sustaining highly supportive relationships with up to four grantee organizations.  This involves researching the field for potential grantee candidates, conducting due diligence for promising candidates, facilitating “theory of change” workshops (initially as part of a team), structuring and managing general operating support grants with measurable milestones, as well as providing nonfinancial supports to grantees to help them grow their capacities and move ahead in their individual developmental journeys.  In all facets of this work it is essential that considerations of diversity, equity, and inclusion be kept in mind and promoted wherever possible.

A successful candidate must have strong analytical capabilities, maturity, superior organizational skills, and a growth mindset.  This person will play an integral role on a small team that is working hard to achieve a bold mission.  This role will require rolling up one’s sleeves in order to execute multiple tasks simultaneously and thrive in a fast-paced environment that is oftentimes ambiguous and fluid.
