Executive Summary
The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH), Division of Health Promotion – Community Health and Wellness Unit (CHWU) addresses leading causes of death and disability from chronic disease and illness. The core mission of the CHWU is to prevent premature death and disability from chronic disease, to understand the risk factors of chronic disease, and to promote healthy behaviors through leadership efforts that address evidence-based policies, systems, and environmental change. To achieve this mission, the CHWU has cultivated a robust group of partners – clinicians, academicians, community advocates, patients, consumer representatives, business leaders and government agencies – across the state of New Jersey to reach high burden populations and communities and complete funded work. Improved quality of life and extended years of healthy living for New Jersey residents are the overall outcomes for all activities undertaken through CHWU programs and services.
The Community Health and Wellness Unit’s – Colorectal Cancer Screening and Prevention Program announces the availability of State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2026 funding and technical assistance for primary care clinics operating in Cumberland, Cape May, Gloucester, Monmouth, Hunterdon, Somerset and Essex counties whose colorectal cancer (CRC) screening prevalence is between 25% and 55%, to implement evidence-based interventions (EBIs) and quality improvement (QI) processes to increase CRC screening in eligible and priority populations. This RFA seeks to increase CRC screening among populations aged 45 to 75 years that have lower colorectal cancer screening prevalence. The NJDOH-CCSPP is seeking up to four (4) primary care clinics to adopt strategies that utilize multi-component EBIs to increase CRC screening and to partner with NJDOH-CCSPP by accepting technical assistance, and support for data collection and evaluation activities.

Leveraging innovative tools, including a patient chat text concierge, the patient navigators will enhance patient engagement, reduce barriers, and empower informed decision-making. Navigators will also coordinate care, track outcomes, schedule screenings, and ensure timely follow-up to promote comprehensive, equitable colorectal cancer prevention and care.

Our Mission
The mission of the Jean Griswold Foundation is to support Caregivers by providing educational scholarships* to enable them to further their training, enhance their careers, and better assist the clients they serve.

South Jersey Resiliency Fund
Strengthening & Sustaining South Jersey’s Nonprofit Sector
South Jersey nonprofits are vital in fostering equitable and thriving communities for all, yet they are facing unprecedented challenges.
These organizations feed, heal, shelter, educate, inspire, enlighten, and nurture residents across diverse demographics. As demand for their services continues to grow, funding has become more uncertain, impacting their ability to meet community needs fully.
South Jersey nonprofits urgently need support at a time when their role is more crucial than ever.
CFSJ and its partners have established the South Jersey Resiliency Fund to enable individuals and organizations to pool resources to support nonprofits facing increased demands and reduced resources.
Apply to the South Jersey Resiliency Fund – Round Two
Registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (or those operating with a fiscal sponsor), with an annual operating budget of $1,000,000 or less, that provide services tied directly to the well-being of South Jersey neighbors in Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Ocean and/or Salem counties are eligible to apply for support in this second round.
The grant application has been designed to request only the necessary information required to award a grant. In addition to basic organizational contact information, applicants will provide a brief overview of the services their organization offers, insight into the cause of the increased demand for them, and an explanation of the intended impact on the South Jersey community they serve.
For this second round, grant awards will be $10,000 and are expected to be expended within 12 months. We anticipate awarding a total of 25 to 30 grants in this round, and all grant recipients must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization or partner with one to acquire funding.
For this second funding opportunity, the South Jersey Resiliency Fund’s priority is to provide one-time general operating and program support grants to eligible organizations to support their missions during this time of increased uncertainty and rising demand for services from the communities they serve. Grant funds will be unrestricted and flexible. Grant recipients may use funding to address wide-ranging organizational needs, including, but not limited to, program continuation, organizational capacity building, technology and system upgrades, scenario planning, and other emergent needs.
Due to the anticipated scale of need, these grants are intended to complement the efforts of trusted community partners, grassroots, and community-based organizations. They are not intended to be at a scale to support public institutions strained by increased demand for services and/or decreased government funding.

Pincus Family Foundation
PFF is driven by the values that our founders David and Gerry Pincus lived by: “to get involved, not just think about your own life, you are supposed to do things for other people.” Today, the second and third generation of Pincus Family members have added their ethos, while keeping the founders’ legacy alive.
Pincus Family Foundation Grant
Mission Alignment: We support our non-profit partners to develop and enhance programs that improve the lives of children, their families, and their communities.
PFF Funds Projects, Programs, & General Operating Support in Four Priority Areas
Creative & Performing Arts
The Pincus Family Foundation’s Creative and Performing Arts portfolio supports programs where young people use art as a tool to address the structural inequities they face. Five strategic priorities:
Target Constituency: Organizations serving preK-12 youth from marginalized communities with arts for social change programming that connects them to the power of art to question and transform systems.
Education
High school readiness for many low-income students, largely is a result of poor preparation in middle school. PFF is funding programs/projects that support middle school engagement and focus on achievement filling a funding gap.
Target Constituency: We support non-profit organizations serving middle school students who face gaps in comprehensive high school readiness. These organizations implement innovative programming that creates challenging yet nurturing environments—preparing students for achievement while inspiring them to become engaged, confident citizens ready to contribute to their communities.
Health & Wellness
Goal: Advance children’s health and well-being by supporting nonprofits that strengthen social conditions, empower youth, and build healthier environments in marginalized communities.
Target Constituency: Nonprofits whose work strengthens social determinants of health for children in marginalized communities.
Play & Recreation
Goal: Advance children’s social-emotional development and physical well-being by supporting nonprofits that create inclusive play-based programming, competitive sports opportunities, and outdoor recreational experiences in under-resourced communities.
Target Constituency: Non-profits whose work promotes access to quality recreational programming for children ages 6-18 in under-resourced communities.
For all grants, the organization’s mission and scope must align with the Foundation’s mission. For the latter, these grants can be either unrestricted or restricted to a particular program or project. The type of grant and what it is used for will dictate the goals and objectives to be met.
Unless noted otherwise in the scholarship description and criteria statement, applicants can attend accredited schools of their choice within the United States.
