ELIGIBILITY

ORGANIZATIONS

501 (c) 3 public charitable organizations whose purposes, programs or projects fits within the mission of the Joseph Robert Foundation are eligible to apply. Emerging not-for-profit organizations that do not have their 501 (c) 3 designation may apply through a fiscal conduit.

Organizations must have been in existence for one full calendar year (January through December) in order to apply.

Smaller organizations with budgets under $300,000 will be given priority. Programs or projects within larger organizations with budgets in this range may occasionally be considered, but in most cases larger organizations will not be considered for support. Organizations with budgets exceeding $1 million should not apply unless there are exigent circumstances. Organizations that are not clear about their financial status may request clarification by emailing us at info@josephrobert.org prior to applying.

Organizations must be located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U. S.: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Projects or programs for which funding is requested must also be located in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Organizations that have been prior recipients of JRF funding may re-apply for future grant periods.
