The Alfred N. Sanzari Family Foundation provides grants twice annually to support nonprofit organizations focused on patient care for Parkinson’s disease, education programs, services for disadvantaged populations, and initiatives that assist women and children in need. The foundation exclusively funds nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status located in Northern New Jersey. The grants range from $500 to $10,000 per award.

The foundation does not provide funding to individuals, religious organizations, or political causes. All applicants must be registered nonprofit entities that meet the foundation’s eligibility criteria. The application process requires completing and submitting an electronic application through the Common Grant Application platform, a third-party system that allows applicants to start, save, and return to their applications before submission. Only completed online applications, including all required attachments, will be accepted for review.

Grant applications are reviewed on a biannual schedule. Applications submitted between March 1 and August 30 are due by August 31, reviewed in September, and awarded in October. Applications submitted between September 1 and February 28 are due by February 28, reviewed in March, and awarded in April. The foundation does not support any applications outside of these cycles.

The funding provided by the foundation aims to make a meaningful impact within the supported focus areas, particularly within the Northern New Jersey region. The foundation’s commitment to aiding organizations that address health concerns, education, and social services reflects its dedication to improving community well-being.
