Monmouth Park Charity Fund

Funding local charities since 1947

Applying for a Grant

Monmouth Park Charity Fund is committed to supporting the health and well-being of the residents of Monmouth County. 

Since our inception in 1946 our mission has been to raise and distribute funds to local non-profit organizations that offer critical services in health-care, and to those at risk and in need of special services.  The process for fund distribution is through our open Traditional Grants Program.

Monmouth Park Charity Fund releases its RFP (request for proposals) in May of each year.  To be eligible to receive a grant the organization must:

  • A registered 501(C)(3) Non-Profit Organization
  • Have been incorporated at least three complete years prior to applying
  • Provide programs/services aligned with our mission
  • Provide board approved end of year financial reports

For agencies funded in the prior year, a link to the google forms application will be automatically sent to the agency for renewal consideration.  It is the agency’s responsibility to provide MPCF with any changes in contact information to ensure receipt of current applications.

If an agency has not been funded in the prior year and would like to apply they must send an email request for an application between January 1st and May 1st to Debi Heptig  and include:

  • Contact information
  • Mission statement
  • Guarantee that any funds received will benefit residents of Monmouth County
  • Date of incorporation

Any inquiries made after May 1st will be placed on a list for a grant application the following year.

Completed Grants and attachments are due as listed on the application. Between July and August site visits are made as needed (any new applicant will receive a site visit)

Sometime in September any organization who submitted a grant will be notified whether they will be receiving a grant.  Specific grant amounts are not made available until:

November is when MPCF holds its Annual Roberta Fox Distribution of Funds Tea and grant checks are distributed. A representative from the grantee organization must attend in order to receive their grant award.

Additional special grants may be made available during the year and announcements will be posted.
