Camden County grants. Found and managed.
The foundations, city and county programs, and regrants that fund nonprofits in Camden County and the City of Camden.
Grants for Camden County nonprofits.
Camden County runs from the Delaware River waterfront in the City of Camden, directly across from Philadelphia, through Cherry Hill and older towns like Haddonfield, out to Winslow Township, its largest municipality by area. The City of Camden is the county seat and has a dense mix of community organizations working on food access, housing, jobs and neighborhood safety.
Much of the local money is aimed squarely at the city. Subaru of America and Campbell’s, both headquartered in Camden, direct their New Jersey foundation grants to organizations serving the City of Camden, and the city receives its own HUD entitlement funds, separate from the county’s. Elsewhere in the county, the main local sources are the Community Foundation of South Jersey (based in Haddonfield), United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, and county programs for homelessness, arts and history.
A single program here can be paid for by city, county, state and foundation grants at the same time, each with its own reporting calendar. Pursuit and Granted keep those deadlines, budgets and reports in one place.
