Application Process
Before your organization can apply for this grant, there are several steps you must complete.
First your organization must become registered in the NJ Department of Environmental Protection System for Administering Grants Electronically (SAGE). The applicant registration process can take up to a few days to complete, as each applicant needs to be manually approved in SAGE. Therefore, complete your registration allowing enough time to ensure it does not impact your ability to meet required application submission deadlines. You can register now, in advance of the application start date.
Applicants must follow the Registration Instructions on NJDEP SAGE’s login page at https://njdepsage.intelligrants.com. An email will be sent to you when you have been accepted into the system. Once logged in, you can navigate to the Training Materials link where an authorized official manual and a webinar is available for help. In addition, at the public information session, there will be a presentation on how to use the system.
