Broad Eligibility

New Jersey organizations with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status that serve New Jersey communities and meet the Foundation’s program and reporting criteria. For the Arts & Community Health RFP, the competitive pathway is intended for arts organizations. The Foundation does not fund hospitals or hospital foundations, treatment programs, equipment-only requests, capital campaigns, renovations or new buildings, individuals, or one-day events.

Atlas Analysis

This is a community-health and health-literacy opportunity rather than a clinical-service grant. It is best suited to arts nonprofits that can use creative programming to promote healthy behaviors, prevention, education, awareness, health literacy and connection to services. Healthcare systems may be valuable program partners, but hospitals and hospital foundations are specifically ineligible as direct applicants.
