For Grantseekers

The Burke Foundation explores funding ideas through extensive research and long-term partnerships described in Our Approach. The Foundation does not accept unsolicited requests for funding. However, apart from funding proven health and early childhood programs, we also keep an eye out for innovative, promising approaches across our areas of investment. We are interested in learning about your organization and its work, especially if it is:

  • A registered non-profit with an interest in supporting New Jersey children and their families
  • Demonstrating improvements in, or innovating within, (at least) one of our four areas of investment:
    • Healthy Births and Strong Beginnings
    • Healthy Parent-Child Relationships
    • Early Care and Learning
    • Preventing, protecting and healing from the effects of ACEs
  • Proposing a funding idea with proven impact or potential for measurable impact
  • Interest in partnership with the communities we serve in order to have a lasting impact on children and families

If your organization meets the above criteria and you think your long-term mission aligns with the mission of the Burke Foundation, we encourage you to complete our interest survey. Thank you for sharing your work with us!
