The Healthcare Foundation of New Jersey (HFNJ) is accepting its November 2026 quarterly Capital Grant cycle for eligible private nonprofit organizations. HFNJ specifically identifies capital and equipment requests that improve access to health assets or services or help establish an equitable standard of care as fundable project types.
Deadline: November 19, 2026 at 5:00 PM EDT. HFNJ states that the deadline is firm. Organizations considering a Capital Grant must first complete the Foundation’s Initial Request for Funding Form and obtain prior permission before receiving the full application link.
Eligibility and geography: Applicants must be private 501(c)(3) nonprofits that are not private foundations. HFNJ does not make grants to individuals or government agencies. Priority geography includes greater Newark and Jewish organizations within the Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ footprint covering Essex, Morris, Somerset, Union and parts of Sussex counties. Targeted vulnerable populations elsewhere in Essex, Morris and Union Counties may sometimes be considered when aligned with HFNJ priorities.
Eligible capital uses: HFNJ’s current guidance expressly describes construction or renovation of clinical spaces and healthcare equipment purchases, citing examples such as MRI machines and surgical equipment. The Foundation also supports capital/equipment requests that improve access to health assets or services or establish a more equitable standard of care. The public guidance does not state a mandatory match or a public applicant-specific award ceiling.
Required materials: The Capital Application process lists a project budget, organization budget, audited financials, management letter, board member/key staff lists, IRS Form 990, IRS 501(c)(3) certification letter, logic model and Foundation budget materials. Applications are submitted through HFNJ’s online process after prior approval to apply.
Atlas views this as a high-value New Jersey equipment and clinical-infrastructure opportunity. Applicant-selected clinical technology can be a strong fit when it expands access, improves service capacity, or helps establish a more equitable standard of care. Eligible nonprofit applicants should select vendors or implementation partners in accordance with Foundation requirements and their own procurement rules.
