We Did It: Bigs & Littles Are Back in the Budget!

We did it! Thanks to your advocacy, passion, and persistence, funding for Big Brothers Big Sisters of New Jersey has been fully restored in the 2026 State Budget. 

That means thousands of Littles across the state will continue to receive the guidance, mentorship, and friendship they count on, and without interruption.

Every email you sent, every message you forwarded, and every conversation you sparked made a difference. You showed up, and lawmakers listened.

This is a huge victory for our matches, our mission, and for all those who believe in the power of mentorship. We’re incredibly grateful for your support, and we’re just getting started!

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to grow our impact across New Jersey. For now, let’s take a moment to celebrate what we accomplished together.
