New Jersey Cash Alliance
Statewide coalition of more than a dozen New Jersey organizations — including United Way of Greater Newark, New Jersey Citizen Action, the Economic Security Project and Mayors for a Guaranteed Income — advocating direct, unrestricted cash programs, from an expanded state Child Tax Credit to new guaranteed-income initiatives, with the goal of ending poverty and economic precarity in the state.
New Jersey's statewide cash-policy coalition, founded spring 2026: over a dozen organizations pushing unrestricted cash programs, from Child Tax Credit expansion to guaranteed income. Advocacy rather than money — it sits beside Mayors for a Guaranteed Income and below the delivery programs it champions.

Detailed Rating Breakdown
Issuance Model3x2.0
Advocacy for state-funded direct cash in dollars — no issuance mechanism of its own.
Spending Power Stability2x2.0
No mechanism; the cash it advocates is plain USD.
Fiat Independence & Interoperability2x1.0
Fully fiat by definition — the goal is better distribution of state money, not independence from it.
Traction2x2.0
Formed spring 2026: a dozen-plus member organizations and an early statewide policy result (New Jersey's Child Tax Credit expansion in the 2027 state budget, which the alliance publicly welcomed in June 2026), but no program, users, or track record of its own yet.
Sovereignty2.0
A voluntary nonprofit coalition inside a single US state; no technical or jurisdictional independence.
Governance2.0
Young coalition without a published governance structure; member organizations are established but the alliance itself is informal.
Resilience2.0
No visible independent funding model yet; durability is currently borrowed from member institutions.
Inclusivity4.0
Exists precisely to reach excluded families — universal, unrestricted cash with no means-testing ethos; the strongest category by design.
