About New Jersey Natural Gas Company Charity
New Jersey Natural Gas Company Charity Inc. makes one of its clearest commitments through a five-year, $2 million Coastal Climate Initiative supporting restoration, preservation, stewardship, climate adaptation, community engagement, and environmental education in coastal New Jersey. That environmental focus sits alongside a steady stream of grants for human services, fuel assistance, housing, and education in Monmouth and Ocean counties. The largest recent environmental awards go to Conserve to Preserve Foundation Inc., which received $720,000 in 2025 and two prior grants of $718,000 in 2024 and 2023. In the human-services side of the portfolio, Monmouth Ocean Development Council Education Foundation Inc. received $213,090 in 2025, following grants to United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties in 2024 and 2023. The pattern points to a funder that uses sizable anchors for conservation while also supporting local service networks that handle basic needs and community support. Across its recent awards, the foundation backs organizations tied to New Jersey’s coast, local workforce and education efforts, and direct assistance for households.
