Awardees of the NJ SNIP grants will each receive $300,000 in funding over two years from the BMS Foundation to address the community and/or strategic capacity-building needs in their areas. The Camden Coalition will offer tailored one-on-one technical support related to project management and implementation barriers as well as other technical resources.
Please join us to share our work, brainstorm solutions, and discuss areas of common interest. Up to four funders can present a five-minute grant problem or opportunity to be workshopped.
