About Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation
Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation is a private foundation based in New Jersey, that supports, centers, and connects communities and changemakers who are addressing the root causes and repair of structural racism and inequity in New Jersey. And for their foundation, 2024 signifies more than just a new year, it means a new home. Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation has begun the process of moving its headquarters to Newark, New Jersey. For decades, Newark has been home to social and racial justice movements and immersing themselves in the area will strengthen their understanding of and engagement in this work. This is an exciting opportunity for the Foundation to further connect themselves with a more just and equitable New Jersey. Finding businesses to design their new home is not a project the Foundation has taken lightly. Above all else, the team at Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation wanted to entrust their new headquarters to a team whose beliefs aligned with their own. When they were introduced to the team at BE Furniture, both organizations were thrilled to discover their shared values of diversity, equity and inclusion.
Concept for the New Corporate Headquarters
ENV, AKT and E. L’Alease & Co. firms, with the support of BE will continue to work hand in hand to design the space in its entirety. BE is involved in every step from furniture procurement to installation and making sure the selected products coordinate with the finishing details selected by the Foundation and the design teams. Bryson Fonville, VP of Sales for BE Furniture, had this to say about the goal for their new office design: “We want to make sure their new office is inviting, comfortable and inclusive for everyone. From the materials and colors to furniture selection, we wanted this to come through in each room and common area. It’s important for us to do all we can to encourage diversity within their space. We believe offices are an extension of culture, so it is imperative that the Foundation’s new home aligns with their core mission.” Fonville also speaks on behalf of the whole BE team to convey their most heartfelt gratitude and pride in working with Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation. “It’s very exciting and refreshing to work with a non-profit who believes in the same principles as we do. Our shared belief to invest in under-resourced communities directly aligns with our business and cultural model. The project with Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation has been so fulfilling because it’s an opportunity (and responsibility) we have to help them reach a community they want to be close with and serve. We love and take pride in being able to help them, help people who truly need to be represented and heard.”
