Impact100 South Jersey’s 2022 Core Mission grantee, Boys & Girls Clubs of Cumberland County (BGCCC), has had a busy year since our 2022 Annual Meeting. In addition to rebuilding their post-pandemic, in-person youth enrollment, they have been working with their local government to secure permits and an architect to design an addition to the youth center that our $100,000 grant funded.

Grantee Spotlight: Family Promise of Southwest NJ

Grants

When families become homeless, they are often forced to leave the school district their children are attending. In 2020, Family Promise of Southwest New Jersey submitted an Impact100 South Jersey application for funding that would allow them to grow a pilot student transportation program that would send homeless children to their original sending districts. They were also looking to turn this program into an independent source of future revenue. That year they were selected as one of the finalists, and although not selected as the $100,000 Core Mission grantee, they received $43,000 in general operating funding that they put toward purchasing vans. An extra benefit to applying for an Impact100 grant was they now had a robust proposal they could submit to another foundation. As a result, they received the needed funding.…

BEYOND THE CHECK: Farmers Against Hunger Delivers Despite Challenging Conditions

Beyond The Check, Grants

NJ Agricultural Society's Farmers Against Hunger program (FAH), a 2021 Impact100 South Jersey General Operating Grantee, has been working through a perfect storm of national challenges at the local level. Meeting the needs of struggling farmers, families, and community organizations facing a pandemic, inflation, and drought made their programs even more critical to the region. But they have shown up and flexed to meet the demand. New Jersey farmers faced so many obstacles this year and many were not able to offer the amount of surplus crops that they have in the past. Abnormal climate conditions, such as early spring followed by spring frost that damaged plantings, combined with drought later in the season, made growing conditions extremely challenging. On top of that, inflation, which affected fuel costs for tractors…
