The New Jersey Arts and Culture Recovery Fund (NJACRF) was established to ensure the survival and strength of the state’s arts, cultural and historical sector during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

NJACRF will provide financial support to catalyze an equitable statewide recovery and build resilience for New Jersey-based nonprofit arts, arts education, and/or history organizations facing disruption and loss. The fund will assist in the transition from recovery to resiliency, with a long-term goal of creating a thriving and sustainable arts and culture sector.

No organization or culture worker has been immune to the impact of this crisis, but data has revealed that the disruption has disproportionately affected Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC), as well as historically under-resourced organizations serving BIPOC communities. Therefore, the Fund is committed to a transparent, equity-centered process to ensure that the funds represent and support the most under-resourced and under-served populations of New Jersey.

The fund was created as a public-private partnership, capitalizing on the resources and expertise available through the government, corporate, and private philanthropic sectors. Strategic alignment of these partners ensures a coordinated approach to sector support, and ongoing dialogue with the field and stakeholders. As the fund develops and the needs and priorities of the sector change, Fund priorities may evolve accordingly.
