 Pandemic Relief Fund (NJPRF)

Instituted by the Community Foundation of New Jersey, the Pandemic Relief Fund (NJPRF) is marshaling resources across the state to identify critical needs and fight the economic and social impact of COVID-19 on New Jersey's vulnerable communities. Proceeds will be used to support organizations that provide essential services and siding those on the front line of the pandemic.
