Three separate grant cycles are approaching for nonprofit organizations wishing to apply to the Princeton Area Community Foundation for program funding that serves girls and the women who raise them, HIV/AIDS education, prevention, and services, and programs that support Mercer County and its neighboring communities.
The Fund for Women and Girls seeks grant proposals from programs with proven competence in working with girls to build character and self-esteem, hone special talents, train for leadership, respect their bodies, stay in school, and be proud of who they are and what they can do. The Fund is also interested in projects that help women to be positive role models and advocates for themselves, to be good mothers, to transition from welfare to work, and to adopt healthy behaviors. The deadline for proposals to The Fund for Women and Girls is Friday, Feb. 27.
The New Jersey AIDS Partnership is accepting grant proposals for innovative approaches that address unmet needs and underserved populations and serve the state’s HIV/AIDS population. Community-based organizations or programs providing direct service, preventive education, outreach to, or advocacy for, HIV positive and at-risk populations in New Jersey, are eligible for funding. The deadline for proposals to The New Jersey AIDS Partnership is March 2.
The PACF’s Greater Mercer Grants is available for programs that help low-income people help themselves, efforts to improve a nonprofit’s productivity, or projects that build regional leadership and effective partnerships. The spring deadline for proposals to the Greater Mercer Grants Fund is Friday, April 16, for consideration for a June grant.
The fall cycle deadline is Sept. 19 for grants awarded in December. Agencies are encouraged to apply closest to the date of program implementation and may apply only once during the calendar year to either the spring or fall cycle.
Full grant guidelines and applications for all grants cycles are available on the Princeton Area Community Foundation Web site at www.pacf.org.
