20th Anniversary Grants

We made 20 surprise grants to organizations that build community throughout our region.

A story that starts right where you’re standing …

The Princeton Area Community Foundation was established twenty years ago to invest in the future of central New Jersey.

Today, it is a $75 million consortium of funds that is helping to address critical needs in the present while preparing for the next twenty years and beyond.

We are working to build stronger communities by promoting and facilitating giving. We help generous people to practice informed, effective philanthropy, and we provide grants and professional guidance to support and empower our region's vital nonprofit organizations.

Are you wondering how to accomplish something philanthropic?
Are you a nonprofit with a bold idea for building a better world?
Are you a trusted advisor looking for new ways to serve valued clients?

Your Community Foundation has answers. We're a nonprofit public charity serving central New Jersey, here for you as a resource, partner, and advocate.

Whatever your vision, we can help to make it a reality.
