Lori Freudenberger-Nelson is a nonprofit professional with a passion for helping mission-driven organizations grow their impact through thoughtful fundraising and strong community relationships. She brings a diverse professional background that spans nonprofit leadership, law, and public service.

Before transitioning to the nonprofit sector, Lori practiced law and held roles at various law firms in New York City, where she worked in risk management and served as Manager of Legal Recruitment. She also served as a prosecutor at the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office and at the New York City Law Department, Office of the Corporation Counsel. These experiences shaped her strong organizational, analytical, and communication skills and inform her collaborative approach to nonprofit development. She has worked closely with nonprofit boards, donors, and community leaders to strengthen donor engagement, support fundraising initiatives, and advance organizational growth.

Lori is deeply committed to community service and philanthropy and has been involved in numerous civic and charitable initiatives throughout her career.

As a doctor who has devoted his medical career to caring for geriatric patients, let me tell you a story about a patient I knew.

Day after day, she sat alone in her apartment, half-tuned to the TV. Her children lived several states away. She could not drive. There were times when she didn’t speak to another human for days. Sometimes she went weeks without a hot meal. This lonely, isolated woman— and many others like her — broke my heart and are the reason why I decided in to form a non-profit in 2012 called Connections at Home.

Based upon my patients stories, I could see the need was dire to help these seniors and the need remains just as critical today.  Connections at Home New Jersey offers a dedicated team of social workers and specially adapted technology that  addresses food insecurity, housing instability and the devastating effects of social isolation, and has dramatically improved the lives of thousands of seniors and provided peace of mind to their  relatives and friends.
