The Kessler Foundation (NJ ONLY)
Deadline: April 4, 2016
Eligibility: Nonprofit organizations that serve New Jersey residents and are tax-exempt according to the Internal Revenue Code may apply for a Community Employment Grant. This includes nonprofit organizations, public/private schools and public institutions. The Foundation will accept applications from non-NJ based groups as long as the proposed grant projects are based in NJ and serve NJ residents.
Funding Available: The program typically awards two-year grants of up to $100,000
Description: The program seeks to support projects, programs, capacity building, pilot initiatives, and creative solutions that focus on job placement, education, training, and retention for New Jersey citizens with disabilities. These solutions must improve the employment landscape and lead to full-time or part-time employment, and thereby provide the independence and economic self-sufficiency important for living a purposeful life. Priority is given to projects serving individuals with mobility disabilities, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, stroke, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, epilepsy or other impairments primarily from neuromuscular disorders.
