The New Jersey Arts and Culture Renewal Fund awarded grants to 23 New Jersey Nonprofit organizations in Phase 8 of its grantmaking. The total amount awarded for Phase 8 was $242,413.00. These grants bring the total awarded to over $9 million since the Fund was established, in 2020. Phase 8 grants were for organizations whose primary mission is History.
“Smaller cultural organizations contribute greatly to our understanding of each other and of our world,” said Lynne Toye, Executive Director of the New Jersey Arts and Culture Renewal Fund. “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,” she said.
Now in its fourth year, the Fund continues to address critical funding gaps experienced by smaller cultural organizations in New Jersey. The Fund offers critical grant dollars for many of the state’s smaller nonprofit organizations in cultural sector.
