40 NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS · $500 GRANTS · $20,000 TOTAL
With the overwhelming number of nominations, we are grateful to work and live in a community full of organizations and people making a difference to help others.
On April 1, 2020, OceanFirst Foundation partnered with the Grunin Foundation to develop The Act of Kindness Program. The goal of the program was to highlight nonprofit organizations going above and beyond during these challenging times and to showcase how our community works together. Selected recipients then had their stories shared on local Townsquare radio stations and online.
"During this pandemic, our local nonprofits have been a vital resource for our neighbors, and we are grateful for their extraordinary efforts to help in so many ways. We were proud to partner with Grunin Foundation and Townsquare Media to offer the Acts of Kindness Program, recognizing organizations who rose to the challenge while we stand apart, together.”
