The Domenica Foundation funds programs and organizations that improve the lives of low-income residents of Camden and other South Jersey communities. We operate primarily in Camden, Burlington, Atlantic, Cumberland, Salem, and Gloucester counties in New Jersey, though we occasionally fund programs in the greater Philadelphia area. Nearly all of the nonprofit organizations we support are small and locally based.
We like to establish long-term partnerships with our grantees so they can build effective and sustainable programs. Although we may fund specific programs for a specific purpose, more often we provide general operating support to allow grantees to choose how best to invest their grant. We are open to backing capital campaigns to power an organization’s growth and sustainability.
Our support doesn’t end with funding! Using the Piperno family’s vast network of public and private organizations across southern New Jersey, the Domenica Foundation connects grantees with other grantees, other funders, potential volunteers, and anyone we know who can help grantees fulfill their missions.
