In addition to funding and grants management support, NJFPL provides funded agencies with training, technical assistance, policy and regulatory analysis, and strategic planning guidance. 

For more than 45 years, NJFPL has supported affordable, accessible family planning health care for anyone who walks through the doors of one of our network provider health centers. We are driven by our core values: a commitment to high-quality care for populations in need; a responsibility to serve the needs of patients and providers statewide; healthcare services that align with current evidence -informed care standards; and a commitment to health equity and sexual and reproductive justice.
