Community Foundation of New Jersey Makes a Difference at NJEDDA
Thank you to the Community Foundation of New Jersey for a grant to purchase Smart Boards, computers, transfer lifts, other adaptive equipment, and personal protective supplies (PPE) for our schools and adult training center. These funds arrived at a critical time while we maintain and expand in-person and remote instruction and therapy to our children and adults. The Foundation is making a difference in our lives and it’s greatly appreciated.

Applications can be submitted at any time during the school year. If a household member becomes unemployed or the household size or income changes during the school year, parents are encouraged to contact the school so that all children receive the proper benefits.
