The New Jersey Cultural Trust was created in July 2000 as a public/private partnership to help ensure a stable and healthy nonprofit cultural industry in New Jersey that is sustainable even in the toughest of economic times.
The Trust provides grants to support capital projects, endowments and institutional and financial stabilization of arts, history and humanities organizations in New Jersey. Funding for the grants comes from interest earned on the Cultural Trust Fund, which is a permanent investment fund.
To be eligible to apply for any Cultural Trust grant, an organization must first be designated “qualified” by the Cultural Trust. The Cultural Trust periodically holds virtual office hours on Zoom to provide live technical assistance to potential qualification applicants. Participation is free, but registration is required. For upcoming dates, registration links, and more information about qualification, visit the Qualification page.
The mission of the Cultural Trust is to ensure a stable and healthy cultural industry in New Jersey that is sustainable under fluctuating economic conditions through the establishment of permanent, interest-generating funds to be an additional source of revenue to nonprofit arts, history and humanities organizations.
