COVID-19 RESPONSE GRANTS IMPACT

Earlier this year, we re-opened the COVID-19 Response Grant program. Funding was made possible through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP). This support was made available in two categories for New Jersey humanities organizations that experienced financial hardship due to COVID-19.

The organizations listed below have been awarded either GOS or PS support. This grantee listing includes all three rounds of funding awarded in 2021. The COVID-19 Response Grant program is currently closed.
