The Fund for New Jersey works to improve the quality of public policy decision-making on the most significant issues affecting the people of New Jersey and our region. Our grant making advances systemic and sustainable solutions to public problems through the work of policy, advocacy, analysis, and organizing. Last year, The Fund for New Jersey awarded $2.5 million to more than 50 organizations for work in all parts of the state on issues ranging from the interests and opportunities of disadvantaged people to fiscal fairness to the environment. Funding decisions are made quarterly.
The Fund for New Jersey makes grants only to organizations that have designated tax-exempt status under Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund does not support the activities of individuals. The Fund does not support capital projects. The Fund rarely provides grants for local activities or direct services unless these projects are designed to support systemic change (for example, a demonstration project to inform public policy).
