Process
The James Kerney Foundation supports capital (not operating) expenditures for innovative projects and specific equipment purchases aligned around the mission of food, housing, faith, health and education in exclusive support of the residents of Trenton, NJ.
The foundation does not support general operating expenses (software, salaries, services, etc.), endowments, conceptual plans or architectural studies.
Typical grants range in size from $5-20K and are approved in an annual cycle with an application deadline at midnight on March 15th, and an expected July award timeline.
Applicants must be non-profit organizations recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) and as a public charity under Section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code in order to be considered for a grant. Applications must be submitted on the NJ Common Application and must be executed or submitted by a duly authorized representative of the applicant organization.
You will be asked to supply information about your organization, key leadership, details about your grant request, impact you expect the grant to have on your community, timetable and how you will measure success. Please email your completed application to info@jameskerneyfoundation.org before the end of the day on March 15th.
In the Common Application:
Section II.B.1 does not apply as JKF only supports capital projects (not operating expenses).
In Section III.B: Item 2 is absolutely required but all other items in this section can be submitted as attachments or specific URL links to exiting materials.
