Community Foundation of New Jersey

2009 Morris 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.

Funding was provided by the Irene A. Van Deusen Fund.
