The transformative work that the Smith Family Foundation (SFFNJ) is implementing throughout Trenton is called “The Purple Ribbon”. SFFNJ is providing leadership as well as organizational development and funding to increase the impact of the nonprofit and religious sectors across the city. We are creating an environment where we work strategically and cooperatively with the community to promote Trenton as a healthy thriving urban hub!
