The Jewish Community Foundation, Inc. offers JCF Grants to non-profit organizations serving the Southern New Jersey community, including Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey agencies, synagogues, Jewish day schools, and secular non-profits. These grants are awarded twice annually, during our Spring and Fall JCF Grants cycles.

 

The JCF provides funding of up to $5,000 for each grant application that is approved by our Grants Committee and Board of Trustees, and a total of approximately $45,000 will be awarded in Fall 2025. 

 

Funding is provided primarily for new programming and services benefiting residents of Burlington, Camden, and/or Gloucester counties in South Jersey. Grants are not intended to supplement or duplicate existing funding or ongoing operating budgets of an organization or programs and services presently in existence.
