Community Medical Center Graduate Medical Education Program
CMC has begun its journey to become an academic medical center.
Collaborative Grantmaking
We believe that equitable access to the arts, abundant educational opportunities, and quality healthcare options help create a vibrant and thriving economic ecosystem. We identify organizations primarily at the Central Jersey Shore to implement projects in the arts, education and healthcare that drive economic excellence, have a measurable impact, and align with one or more of our equity commitments.
Grantee Criteria
Our unique approach to grantmaking means nearly all of the organizations we fund are identified and contacted by the Foundation staff. We invest in the following criteria:
The People
We look for strong leaders and passionate people who truly believe in the mission.
The Idea
We search for bold ideas that are relevant, sustainable, replicable and innovative.
The Impact
Projects must demonstrate they are aiming for significant and long-lasting impact.
The Commitment
Organizations must demonstrate a commitment to equity at the CJS.
Commitment to Equity
The Grunin Foundation strives to ensure that all our partners are committed to advancing equity. Below is how we are operationalizing our commitment.
- Increasing access as a pathway to wellbeing
- Fueling entrepreneurship for those on the margins
- Reducing systemic barriers to economic excellence
