Grants for Nonprofits in New Jersey
Several New Jersey departments run their grants through SAGE, the System for Administering Grants Electronically. The Department of Community Affairs accepts, reviews, approves and manages most of its grants there, and an organization must register for a SAGE user ID and password before it can apply.
GrantCue reads the published grant notices of the Departments of Community Affairs, Education, Health, Human Services and State and the Attorney General's notices of available funds, plus programs from Bergen County and Lakewood Township and the PSEG Foundation. The New Jersey State Council on the Arts posts its own operating and program support rounds.
