A 415 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Directs DCA to establish grants division to oversee grant administration, establish grants application portal, and implement public information campaign.

This bill establishes GrantsNJ, a new division within New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs, to create a centralized online portal for residents to access and apply for state grants. The portal will list all available grants organized by user type (individuals, businesses, nonprofits, etc.), include eligibility details and application deadlines, and offer multilingual support and tutorials. State agencies must coordinate with GrantsNJ through memorandums of understanding to standardize applications and include their grants on the portal. The division must also launch public outreach campaigns prioritizing underserved communities and submit annual reports tracking grant usage and impact.
