MISSION
The New Jersey Arts and Culture Renewal Fund was established to ensure the survival and strength of the state’s arts, arts education, cultural and historical sector during and after the pandemic.
WHAT WE DO
The New Jersey Arts and Culture Renewal Fund was originally named the New Jersey Arts and Culture Recovery Fund. It was established in 2020 to ensure the survival, strength and sustainability of the state’s arts, cultural and historical sector during and after the pandemic.

To date, the New Jersey Arts and Culture Renewal Fund has awarded over $10 million to 220 organizations.

The New Jersey Arts and Culture Renewal Fund will continue to support the arts, cultural, and historical sector through equitable grantmaking to smaller nonprofit organizations most vulnerable to sector disruptions. The Fund offers fast, flexible funding focused on nonprofit organizations whose primary mission is either arts and culture, arts education, or history and whose budgets are $5 million or less.

The New Jersey Arts and Culture Renewal Fund will provide a “safety net” for the sector as it emerges from the pandemic and fortifies for unknown challenges that lie ahead.

“Smaller arts and culture organizations contribute greatly to our understanding of each other and of our world. By supporting organizations that tell inclusive stories, we are helping to provide opportunities for representation of all who contribute to the rich and diverse cultural community of New Jersey.”
