How to use this list

A foundation is listed because its own latest tax return itemizes grants to organizations with a Lakewood, NJ address that the IRS list of exempt organizations also places in Lakewood. Gifts sent to a national charity's mailing or donation address in the city are not counted, and neither are grants we could not match to an IRS record. Local foundations often give mostly close to home and are usually the most realistic first prospects for a small nonprofit; large national foundations listed here may fund only a few institutions in the city. Their typical grant is the middle of the funders' own typical grants across everything they fund. Open a profile for all of a funder's grants and any application instructions.

Of these 460 foundations, 81 describe how to apply on their latest return; many others give only to organizations they already know. A badge such as Gave $1.2M in 2024 repeats what the latest return reports; it does not mean the foundation is accepting proposals now.

Facts on this page come from the foundation's own IRS Form 990-PF filings as published by the IRS. Grantvello does not know whether a foundation is accepting proposals right now: a past grant is not an open opportunity. Always confirm current guidelines with the funder before applying.
