Verizon Foundation Offers Grants to New Jersey Nonprofit Organizations for Domestic Violence Prevention Programs
Deadline: September 3, 2010

New Jersey nonprofit organizations are invited to apply for $150,000 in total grants from the Verizon Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Verizon Communications, to support technology-based programs that bolster efforts to combat domestic violence through awareness, prevention, and recovery in underserved communities across the state.

The foundation will award grants to agencies that develop programs that use technology to prevent and raise awareness of domestic violence prevention. The funds can be used to enable the agencies to reach the communities they serve more effectively, to provide strategies for enhancing the safety of victims, and to offer job-related, training technology for individuals participating in the programs.

To be eligible, a grant applicant must be a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in New Jersey. Proposals should focus on underserved communities such as low-income, ethic, minority, limited-English speaking, and disabled groups in rural, suburban, and inner-city regions.

All grant applications must be submitted through the Verizon Foundation’s Web site using invitation code VZNJDV.
