Mission & Focus Areas
TNP’s mission is to help establish Newark as a model city of collaboration, where stakeholders work together to drive prosperity and strengthen the community. Its stated vision is to enhance the city’s vibrancy, sustainability, and social well-being for generations to come.
The organization identifies three core program areas: citywide economic development; connecting and supporting community-based nonprofit institutions; and engaging residents in community advocacy. Its minigrant program has supported projects in areas including education and children’s services, housing assistance, trails, community resources, historic preservation, and retail development.
Examples of 2023 grantees include Newark Center for Creative Learning, whose stated mission is elementary education for approximately 64 students ages 5–13, and Lori’s Hands Inc., which describes its mission as building mutually beneficial partnerships between community members with chronic illness and college students.
Grantmaking
In 2023, TNP reported giving $100,000 through 11 grants. Two reported awards were $10,500 to Newark Center for Creative Learning and $9,000 to Lori’s Hands Inc. The Newark Minigrant Program lists awards of $6,000–$10,000 per project. The program was funded by a $100,000 grant from the Longwood Foundation; that funding was received by TNP, rather than given by it.
The program information identifies a 2023–2024 funding cycle and says TNP hoped to offer the program again in 2024 and beyond. That cycle is past; the information provided does not establish a current application cycle. Eligible applicants are registered businesses located within Newark city limits with a current Newark business license, or Newark-area nonprofit organizations. Funds must be spent and receipts submitted within one year of receipt. Overhead or salary costs may be used if documented, such as time spent on the project. Preference is given to TNP members and applications with significant community impact.
