Summary
This grant opportunity supports nonprofit organizations serving communities across New Jersey with funding designed to strengthen local programs, increase access to vital services, and foster a sense of belonging for residents. The foundation offers several competitive grant cycles each year with awards that vary in size, allowing a range of nonprofits — from smaller grassroots organizations to larger service providers — to request funding that aligns with their programmatic needs and capacity.
The core grant program focuses on broad community impact. Eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofits can apply for general operating support or program-specific funding that helps them carry out mission-focused activities in areas such as education, health and human services, youth and family support, civic engagement, and community building. Award amounts vary based on the nature and scale of the project proposed, with larger awards typically reserved for initiatives demonstrating strong potential for measurable positive outcomes and broad benefit.
In addition to the general grants, there are special interest grant opportunities aimed at particular populations or priorities. These may include targeted funding for youth-centers and youth engagement programs, initiatives that support cultural programs, or smaller awards that help organizations amplify volunteer engagement or expand community outreach. These special grants are often designed to encourage innovative ideas and help nonprofits address specific local challenges in creative ways.
Participation in these opportunities is limited to registered nonprofit organizations; individuals, for-profit businesses, and unincorporated groups are not direct recipients of the funds. The geographic focus places an emphasis on organizations with tangible presence and service activities within New Jersey, helping ensure that grant dollars support community impact where residents live and work.
Overall, these grant offerings aim to build nonprofit capacity, enable collaborative problem-solving, and expand access to services, enrichment, and opportunities that enhance life for diverse populations across the state.
