Community Impact Grants provide support to nonprofits working to address the needs of under-resourced individuals, families, and communities in our regional footprint.

Thanks to our generous community of individuals, companies and foundations, we provide grants to local nonprofits that are working to make a meaningful impact on the lives of children, individuals, and families living in poverty. Johnson & Johnson (J&J) is a valued partner in this work. Grants are awarded through a competitive process. Our Committee on Impact, comprised of knowledgeable volunteers, reviews grant applications and recommends funding. You can read more about one of our recent grantee partners here.

Grants for eligible nonprofits:

In 2025, our grantmaking opportunities include: Summer Initiatives and Community Impact Grants. Grants are awarded to nonprofits working in our regional footprint.

Community Impact Grants

Our Community Impact Grant opportunity is focused serving children, families, and communities most impacted by poverty. In 2025, there will be one cycle to apply. Eligible nonprofits in our region may apply for unrestricted funding. Our 2025 Summer Initiative grants have already been awarded. If you have received funding through the Summer Initiatives grant, you still may apply for Community Impact Grants. If you have received a 2024 multi-year award, you will not be eligible to apply in 2025.

Funding considerations will prioritize requests that address under-resourced populations in our region such as children and adolescents, low-income seniors, returning citizens, immigrants, victims of domestic abuse, and others.

Funding priorities for this grant cycle:

Education/Workforce Development
Critical Needs (Food Security, Homelessness, Mental Health)

Summer Initiatives

Our Summer Initiatives grant opportunity has supported gaps in funding for summer programming that specifically aims to reach youth who may not otherwise be served due to economic or social barriers. Proposals should engage children in positive summer activities, encourage child participation and promote family engagement.
