Our Grants Process
One of the ways Gloucester Community Foundation (GCF) helps to build a healthy and thriving community is through its competitive grants program, offered once a year. This program is funded by the generosity of donors who have created flexible funds to respond to community needs as they change or emerge over time.
Grants are available to nonprofit organizations and agencies providing programs and services that directly impact Gloucester County.
In some cases, GCF may take a more proactive approach to addressing important community issues. The foundation will seek to identify community initiatives that advance solutions to our community’s greatest challenges using innovative strategies and a collaborative spirit. The foundation encourages grant requests that are innovative, collaborative, measurable, and sustainable.
Grant Priorities
Grants focus on four areas of community life that are most likely to produce positive and lasting change in the area served by GCF. GCF works closely with grantees to advance these goals in all of our priority areas.
