About the Grunin Foundation
Grunin Foundation Bio
The Grunin Foundation is a family foundation co-founded in 2013 by Jay and the late Linda Grunin, with their son Jeremy as president. Located in Toms River, we have a staff of five and board of eleven which includes five family and six community members. The Foundation provides holistic support through funding, capacity building, and coalition building to organizations who have a shared vision of an equitable, just, and vibrant Central Jersey Shore (Monmouth and Ocean Counties, New Jersey). Since our inception, we have invested over $58 million in the Central Jersey Shore, with an additional $12 million committed.
We work to achieve our mission through our strategic priorities: funding and supporting organizations, partnerships, coalitions, and other structures whose work aligns with our prioritized outcomes and who have a strong connection to the community; investing in the capacity building of organizations and individuals to enhance their impact, effectiveness, and sustainability; engaging in coalition building and advocacy at the regional and state levels to impact systemic issues.
Equity is at the heart of our work, and we believe it is essential to our mission to find meaningful ways to integrate equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging in everything we do. We have pledged to co-learn and work with our partners, colleagues, and communities to help break down barriers, uplift marginalized voices, celebrate diversity, and champion a more just and equitable society.
We are grateful to work with our board, philanthropic colleagues, nonprofit partners, and the community to create sustainable and impactful outcomes that equitably address the most pressing needs.
