Morristown, NJ, December 19, 2024 — RSI Foundation is thrilled to announce that it has awarded 21 grants totaling nearly $327,000 this year — more than doubling the amount of funding for non-profit organizations serving Rahway and its surrounding communities.
As a donor advised fund of the Community Foundation of New Jersey, RSI focuses its philanthropic work on partnering with marginalized populations that are unable to meet their basic needs due to physical, mental, economic, or social circumstances or constraints as well as supporting the health, happiness, and well-being of communities.
