Horizon Foundation for New Jersey — 2026 Caring Project Support

The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey is accepting 2026 Caring Project Support applications from eligible New Jersey 501(c)(3) organizations. The State of New Jersey’s current funding-opportunities listing confirms the September 15, 2026 cycle and identifies the 2026 Horizon Foundation application as up to $25,000. The Foundation’s direct guidance page is currently protected by a human-verification challenge, so category-specific program details should be reconfirmed before submission.

FundingThe State of New Jersey’s current funding-opportunities listing describes the 2026 Horizon Foundation grant application as up to $25,000. Because the Foundation’s direct guidance page is currently blocked by a human-verification challenge, applicants should reconfirm the exact Caring category ceiling in the controlling Foundation guidance before submission.

Required next actionConfirm New Jersey 501(c)(3) eligibility, review the current Caring Project Support application and measurement requirements after the Foundation’s security check is cleared, verify the exact category-specific funding ceiling and priority language, prepare the required Form 990 and audited financial statements, and submit through the Foundation’s online application process by September 15, 2026.

Broad Eligibility

The State of New Jersey’s current funding-opportunities page states that Horizon Foundation requests are limited to organizations located in New Jersey with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status that serve New Jersey communities, align with Foundation priorities and measurement requirements, demonstrate experience, set measurable objectives, maintain a current satisfactory CPA audit, and meet reporting requirements. Hospitals and hospital foundations, individuals, equipment-only requests, treatment programs, capital campaigns, renovations/new buildings and one-day events are among the listed exclusions. Organizations may submit one application per calendar year.

Atlas Analysis

Caring Project Support is a verified open Horizon Foundation application pathway for New Jersey nonprofits, but the Foundation’s category-specific guidance cannot currently be inspected because its direct page triggers an Imperva human-verification challenge. Atlas therefore preserves the verified deadline and general eligibility while avoiding unsupported assumptions about the precise Caring priorities or category-specific award ceiling. N9+ direct-vendor fit is low because the Foundation expressly excludes equipment-only requests and treatment programs.
