The NNJCF’s COVID-19 Rapid
Response Fund will provide one
time only grants to support urgent
funding needs of small nonprofit
organizations providing services in
these counties. Funding in round
two prioritizes nonprofit, 501(c)
(3) organizations promoting racial
justice by addressing the disproportionate
economic, social, and
health impacts COVID-19 has on
communities of color in the five
counties.
The funding use is unrestricted
and must respond to an increased
demand for services and/or decreased
funding resulting from
the coronavirus. These grants do
not support organizations with
endowments. Organizations that
applied to either the NNJCF or
The Community Chest in Englewood,
New Jersey may not apply
in round two, regardless if they
received funding in the first round.
Incomplete applications or those
without a valid 501(c)(3) Tax ID
number will not be considered.
Information about the Fund and
a brief application may be downloaded
online. NNJCF anticipates
approving between 50 and
60 grants in this round of funding.
Grant awards will range from
$1,000 to $10,000 with an average
award of $4,000. The deadline
to apply is August 14, 2020.
Grants will not be made directly to
individuals.
The NNJCF’s COVID-19 Rapid
Response Fund launched in mid-
March and made nearly $250,000
in grant awards in late May. Fiftyfour
nonprofit organizations and
nonprofits arts organizations received
grant awards to provide
services to neighbors in need in
Bergen County, New Jersey.
