Gloucester County grants. Found and managed.
The local United Way, county programs, regrants and giving circles that fund nonprofits in Gloucester County.
Grants for Gloucester County nonprofits.
Gloucester County lines the Delaware River across from Philadelphia and Delaware County, Pennsylvania, with Woodbury as its county seat and Rowan University in Glassboro. Its history runs from New Sweden settlements at Swedesboro and Bridgeport to Red Bank Battlefield in National Park, where a Revolutionary War fort guarded the river. More recently the county has become a hub for logistics and warehouse development.
One difference from neighboring Camden and Burlington counties: Gloucester has its own independent United Way, founded in 1957, which funds partner agencies through volunteer review panels and offers mini-grants to small nonprofits. County government runs CDBG public service grants through an online portal, and the Cultural & Heritage Commission at Rowan College of South Jersey in Sewell regrants state arts and history funds.
Regional funders fill in the rest, including the Community Foundation of South Jersey and Impact100 South Jersey, a women’s giving circle. Pursuit tracks these local cycles next to state and federal deadlines, and Granted keeps reporting on schedule after the award.

Gloucester County grant questions.
Does Gloucester County have its own United Way?
Yes. United Way of Gloucester County is independent, while Camden and Burlington counties are served by United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey. It funds partner agency programs through volunteer review panels and offers Live United Mini-Grants for small nonprofits.
How do nonprofits apply for Gloucester County CDBG public service funds?
Applications go through the county’s online portal after you obtain the RFP from the county Purchasing Department. Applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofits registered in New Jersey, and funded services must be new or a measurable increase over existing levels.
Where can a Gloucester County history or arts group find a first grant?
Start with the Gloucester County Cultural & Heritage Commission at Rowan College of South Jersey, which regrants state arts and history funds and offers help with grant writing and board development.
Can a small Gloucester County nonprofit apply to Impact100 South Jersey?
Its Core Mission Grant requires three years of audited financials and a substantial project budget, so smaller groups usually fit its Community Heroes grants instead. Applicants must be based in, or have an office in, Burlington, Camden, Gloucester or Cumberland County.
