Application Process & Timeline
Applications are accepted twice annually during Spring and Fall grant cycles through the JCF Grants Application Portal at jcfsnj.org/grants. Application deadlines are typically in mid-March for Spring grants and applications are reviewed by the Grants Committee and Board of Trustees. Decisions are finalised within 6-8 weeks following the deadline. Multiple applications per organisation can be submitted. Grants operate on a reimbursement basis, requiring grantees to submit a brief report with receipts for programme expenses after completion.
