Summary
Several community-focused grant opportunities are available across parts of New Jersey, designed to strengthen local organizations and improve the quality of life for residents. These opportunities primarily support registered nonprofit organizations that serve communities within central and southern regions of the state. The programs aim to provide flexible funding to assist with essential operating needs, expand services, and support targeted projects that align with community priorities such as youth development, housing, health, and economic stability.
Eligible nonprofits can apply for general support grants that typically provide up to $15,000 over a two-year period, helping them sustain daily operations or launch new community initiatives. These funds are meant to give organizations the flexibility to address immediate needs while planning for long-term impact.
Another recurring opportunity focuses on supporting programs that serve veterans, active-duty service members, and their families. These grants vary in amount, with awards often tied to local partnerships and community events, ranging from $1,000 and up depending on program participation. The intent is to strengthen local support systems and help ensure that those who have served receive essential services such as housing assistance, emergency aid, and workforce reintegration support.
A separate annual opportunity provides funding for youth enrichment through summer camp programs. Nonprofits that run day or overnight camps can receive financial support to offer scholarships to children from low- and moderate-income families. Awards generally total around $75,000 in funding distributed across eligible organizations, with up to $250 available per child. These grants help make summer learning, recreation, and social experiences accessible to more families.
Together, these programs reflect an ongoing effort to build stronger, healthier, and more connected communities across New Jersey by empowering nonprofits to deliver services where they are needed most.
