Impact 100 Garden State, a philanthropic women’s organization, is offering at least two grants of $100,000 or more to nonprofit organizations in New Jersey. The grants must be used to fund programs in Morris, Passaic, Somerset or Sussex counties. Grant applicants should focus on one of five grant categories – Arts and Culture; Children and Families; Education; Environment, Preservation or Recreation; or Health and Wellness.
To learn about what types of programs Impact 100 Garden State has funded in the past and better understand the application process and grant criteria, program staff, leadership and board members are invited to attend one of four Impact 100 Information Sessions.
Grant applicants are not required to attend these sessions, but many have found them to be helpful. Individuals and nonprofits who have attended in the past are welcome to join again and share in the discussion.
