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.
The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey’s 2026 Arts & Community Health RFP is an open community-health funding pathway for eligible New Jersey arts nonprofits. The current statewide funding listing identifies awards of up to $25,000 and a September 15, 2026 deadline. The strongest projects use arts programming to improve health knowledge, healthy behaviors, prevention awareness, health literacy or connection to community resources.
Applicants must be New Jersey 501(c)(3) organizations serving New Jersey communities and must meet the Foundation’s financial, measurement and reporting requirements. The Foundation expressly excludes hospitals and hospital foundations, equipment-only requests, treatment programs, capital campaigns, renovations/new buildings, individuals and one-day events. Organizations may submit only one Foundation grant application per calendar year.
Atlas treats this as community-health and health-literacy funding rather than a clinical-service or medical-equipment grant. Healthcare organizations may be useful partners, but the direct applicant should satisfy the Foundation’s arts-organization and nonprofit requirements before investing in a full proposal.
