The Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation will be moving to our new soon-to-be LEED certified green office space in Morristown on December 11th and 12th. (Please note we anticipate that our email and phone service will be interrupted on the 11th; we hope to be fully operational – knock on wood – by the 12th).

Our phone numbers and email addresses will remain the same. Our new mailing address will be: 14 Maple Avenue, PO Box 1239, Morristown, NJ 07962-1239.

Thank you for your patience and support. We look forward to hosting you in our new space in 2009.
