Ideal Applicant
Established charities seeking general operating support or program funding, including national relief organizations and local community nonprofits that fit the foundation’s demonstrated focus areas (food banks, health, shelter/housing, youth).
Good Fit
- • Asks for general operating or flexible support in the typical grant-size band (many awards around $10K, with larger awards up to $200K).
- • Mission aligns with previously funded areas such as food security, health, international relief, domestic violence shelters, housing, or youth services.
- • Willingness and ability to apply by mailed letter and to provide a tax-exempt certificate.
- • Track record as an independent nonprofit (able to receive unrestricted grants).
Geography
Observed grants span many states (13 distinct states in the latest year) and the foundation directs roughly 89% of dollars outside its home state, indicating a multi-state/national footprint despite being foundation-based in New Jersey.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 31 distinct recipients (and prior years 34–41), a mix of national and local nonprofits, and both returning and new grantees, so the recipient set is broad rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of entry includes documented new recipients (8 in 2024 and 15 in 2023) plus a published rolling application route by letter; together these support a realistic path for unfamiliar applicants to be considered.
