Emergency Assistance Grants
In time of local emergencies, Monmouth Park Charity Fund will mobilize to determine the greatest needs in our community and provide impactful grants to those charities. Such grants were provided in response to the 9/11 Terrorist Attack, Superstorm Sandy and most recently COVID-19.
In response to the emergent needs of residents of Monmouth County four (4) Emergency Assistance Grants at $10,000 each was distributed to local charities working boots on the ground providing critically needed services to families, friends, and neighbors profoundly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic:
