Foundations that fund legal aid and crime prevention in New Jersey
These 17 foundations made grants to legal aid and crime prevention in New Jersey in the most recent IRS filing I have for each. None of them ticked the box for giving only to preselected organizations, and each filing gives application instructions or a website. That doesn't prove a foundation takes applications, and some on this list may not. The text below is copied from the filings, most of them for tax year 2024, so check a foundation's website or call before you apply.
