SHARE PROGRAM
SHaring Available Resources Efficiently
 

WELCOME to DCA’s SHARE Program – the home of information on how local governments can leverage State financial resources to find ways to share services with each other to lower the cost and improve the efficiency of providing government services.

State financial assistance is available to municipalities and counties to study and implement a wide variety of shared services. Division of Local Government Services staff is available to assist interested officials who want to improve the effectiveness of their services.

The program was updated in October 2006 to provide increased grant award amounts and program streamlining. Check the information below for details on how to use SHARE to take advantages of all shared services have to offer.

SHARE Applications & Filing Requirements

SHARE applications are filed through SAGE, the Department of Community Affair’s System for Administering Grants Electronically. SAGE is accessed on the Internet at https://njdcasage.state.nj.us. SAGE allows applicants to complete, file and track the progress of their applications on-line. Grant administration and payment requests are also processed via SAGE.

Access to SAGE was given to all municipalities, with the Mayor serving as the primary contact person. The Mayor can delegate or assign access to additional individuals. Visit the SAGE website for assistance with adding authorized users. Help is also available from the SAGE Help Desk at helpdesk@dca.state.nj.us or call 609-292-8134.

Non-profit or higher education/academic organizations applying for COUNT grant preliminary funding decisions will be given within 10 business days of the receipt of a complete application. Applicants will be notified of additional information or documentation required to complete their filings within the same 10 business day period.
