Details:
The Lindemann Legacy Fund, also known as Quinn’s Corner, aims to ensure that New Jerseyans and their pets can be safe together in their time of need.
Funded and inspired by legacy donor Karen Lindemann, this grant opportunity is for 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations in New Jersey that work with both survivors of domestic violence and their pets. Please note, an organization does not need to operate a domestic violence shelter to be eligible for a grant. If the non-profit works with survivors and their pets in some capacity, and it earmarks funding so that it is solely used for that purpose, the organization is eligible to apply.
For the first phase of grantmaking, CFNJ is administering Jumpstart Grants and partnering with the New Jersey Coalition to End Domestic Violence (NJCEDV), RedRover and Greater Good Charities to launch the fund. These one-time, $5,000 grants will help organizations increase their capacity and can be used as:
- Emergency funds (some examples are funding for a pet deposit for a new apartment, temporary pet boarding, vet bills or pet food)
- Planning funds to help an organization prepare for the future goal of housing pets on-site at a shelter.
Eligibility Criteria
Grant opportunities are open to non-profits — including domestic violence and homeless shelters — that support New Jerseyans with emergency funds, planning funds, and more.
