This address is a suite or unit (STE 201). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

• THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION IS AN ACTIVE GRANTMAKER THROUGH SEVERAL GRANT PROGRAMS (INCLUDING GREATER MERCER GRANTS AND THE FUND FOR WOMEN & GIRLS) AND GRANTMAKING FROM DONOR-ADVISED, DESIGNATED, NONPROFIT, AND FIELD-OF-INTEREST FUNDS. THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION'S STRATEGIC GRANTMAKING PROGRAM, ALL KIDS THRIVE, WAS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS HIGH RATES OF CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM IN LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS. IN 2023, THE FIRST PHASE OF THE PROGRAM CONCLUDED. WE EVALUATED THE PROGRAM, CELEBRATED ITS SUCCESSES, AND TOOK STEPS TO BEGIN DESIGNING THE NEXT PHASE OF THE PROGRAM TO HELP CONTINUE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF LOW-INCOME STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. COMMUNITY IMPACT GRANTS SUPPORT NONPROFITS WORKING TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR CHILDREN, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING NONPROFITS FOCUSING ON FOOD INSECURITY, MENTAL HEALTH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND ARTS EDUCATION. WE ALSO SUPPORT GIVING CIRCLES AND FIELD OF INTEREST FUNDS TO ENGAGE WOMEN AND MILLENNIALS IN PHILANTHROPY. THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ALSO MAKES GRANTS FROM DONOR-ADVISED, DESIGNATED, NONPROFIT AND FIELD OF INTEREST FUNDS. ITS PRIMARY FOCUS IS CENTRAL NEW JERSEY, BUT GRANTS FROM DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS ARE MADE REGIONALLY AND NATIONALLY AS WELL. COMPETITIVE GRANTS ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF LOW-INCOME PEOPLE IN GREATER MERCER COUNTY, PROVIDE OPERATING SUPPORT FOR NONPROFITS WORKING WITH LOW-INCOME PEOPLE, AND PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR WORK TO BUILD THE SOCIAL CAPITAL OF THE REGION. IN 2015 THE BOARD DEFINED SOCIAL CAPITAL AS BUILDING COMMUNITIES. THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION'S GRANTMAKING TOUCHES MANY PROGRAMMATIC AREAS INCLUDING EDUCATION, BASIC SERVICES, HEALTH, ARTS & CULTURE, HOUSING, THE ENVIRONMENT, HISTORIC PRESERVATION, AND ANIMAL WELFARE. PROMOTING PHILANTHROPY AND PROVIDING EDUCATION: THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ACTIVELY ENGAGES ITS DONORS, GRANTEES, AND THE PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS IN THE REGION TO ENCOURAGE CHARITABLE GIVING BROADLY, AND TO BUILD OVER TIME A COMMUNITY-WIDE COMMITMENT TO PHILANTHROPY. IT SPONSORS SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS ON TOPICS SUCH AS ENDOWMENT-BUILDING, GOOD GOVERNANCE, GRANT-SEEKING BEST PRACTICES, RISK MANAGEMENT, AND PLANNED GIVING. THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION POSITIONS ITSELF AS A RESOURCE TO THE REGION AND REGULARLY RESPONDS TO REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION AND GUIDANCE. THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION PARTNERS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE COUNCIL OF NJ GRANTMAKERS, THE GIFT PLANNING COUNCIL OF NEW JERSEY, NJ CENTER FOR NONPROFITS, AND THE SUPPORT CENTER PARTNERSHIP IN PHILANTHROPY TO EXPAND ITS EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS. OUTSIDE NON-PROFIT GROUPS CONDUCT RELATED WORKSHOPS ON ITS PREMISES. STAFF ARE AVAILABLE TO CONSULT WITH DONORS, NONPROFITS, PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS ON ISSUES RELATED TO GIFTS, GRANTS, PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATIONS, AND EFFECTIVE PHILANTHROPY AND NONPROFIT MANAGEMENT. IT SHARES ITS EXPERTISE WIDELY AS IT WORKS TO MEET ITS MISSION TO "PROMOTE PHILANTHROPY TO ADVANCE THE WELL-BEING OF OUR COMMUNITIES FOREVER." THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION INCLUDES MANY SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS. IT GRANTS SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS THROUGH COMPETITIVE PROCESSES TO SUPPORT COLLEGE STUDY AND TO HONOR ACHIEVEMENT IN THE ARTS, MUSIC, AND COMMUNITY SERVICE. THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION'S LIABILITIES TO ASSETS RATIO INCREASES AS THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION'S PORTFOLIO OF NON-PROFIT FUNDS INCREASE. AS PART OF ITS MISSION, THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ASSISTS LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS INVEST THEIR MONEY. THIS RELATIONSHIP WITH LOCAL NON-PROFIT FUNDHOLDERS IS IMPORTANT TO OUR MISSION AND SHOWS AS A LIABILITY ON OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
