Community Foundation of New Jersey

2008 Monmouth Legacy Fund Grants

Families who contribute to or establish Legacy Funds can specify an issue, cause or hometown that they would like to have their charitable legacy impact. The Community Foundation can then respond quickly and nimbly to ever-changing community needs through grants designed around the spirit of the donor’s wishes.

• C.H.A.S.E. for Life. Funding to build public awareness of the local organization's no-cost Infant/Child CPR and Choking Maneuver education program. Funding made possible by the Sheila C. Williamson Memorial Fund.
