    About Stone Foundation of New Jersey

    The Stone Foundation of New Jersey is making concentrated, large-dollar gifts to support land acquisition and stewardship for Indigenous communities and regional land trusts. Its recent grants indicate a strong interest in restoring or protecting ancestral territories through purchase and long-term stewardship rather than general operating support. While based in New Jersey, the foundation’s giving appears targeted to Native-led land protection efforts in the Northeast.

    Focus Areas

    Indigenous land acquisition and title restoration in the Northeastern U.S.Community-led land stewardship and conservation by Wabanaki and allied groupsSupport for Indigenous-controlled land trusts and land protection initiatives

    Who They Fund

    land trusts or conservation NGOslocal communities (including community-led or place-based groups)communities pursuing self-determination / Indigenous or tribal communities

    Giving Approach

    Very concentrated giving with few, large grants focused on land purchase/stewardship; grants are targeted to Indigenous organizations and land trusts rather than dispersed small donations.

    About Stone Foundation of New Jersey

    A $500,000 grant to the Wabanaki Commission on Land Steward for land acquisition and stewardship sets the tone for The Stone Foundation of New Jersey’s recent giving. The foundation pairs large, project-level support for Indigenous land work with steady operating grants to community organizations in New Jersey and Maine. In Maine, it has backed Wabanaki-led efforts connected to land acquisition, cultural preservation, and community self-determination, including a $150,000 grant to Niweskok for acquisition of land and a $50,000 grant to Wabanaki Cultural Preservation Coal for the Picture Rocks Project. In New Jersey, the foundation’s support reaches health, housing, arts, and community service organizations, often through general operating support. Recent gifts to Parker Family Health Center Inc, Habcore Inc, 180 Turning Lives Around, and Two River Theater Company show a pattern of flexible support for established local nonprofits. Across these grants, the foundation combines concentrated Indigenous land protection work with broader place-based philanthropy.

    What Stone Foundation of New Jersey Funds

    Land acquisition and title restoration are central to the foundation’s Indigenous-focused grantmaking. It gave $500,000 to the Wabanaki Commission on Land Steward for land acquisition and stewardship, and $150,000 to Niweskok for acquisition of land. A related grant of $50,000 to Wabanaki Cultural Preservation Coal supported the Picture Rocks Project, linking land work with cultural preservation. The foundation also supports Wabanaki-led organizations through general operating and special project grants in Maine, with program language centered on self-determination and community-building. Beyond that, its New Jersey grantmaking includes general operating support for community organizations serving Monmouth County, such as Parker Family Health Center Inc for health services and Habcore Inc for housing-related work. Those grants reflect a second thread: flexible funding for local capacity and service delivery.

    How Stone Foundation of New Jersey Gives

    Typical grants cluster in a mid-sized range: p25 is $8,000, median is $15,000, and p75 is $25,000. The recent record also includes several larger awards, showing that the foundation will make outsized project grants when the purpose is land acquisition or stewardship. The same organizations recur across multiple years, including Wabanaki Commission on Land Steward, Parker Family Health Center Inc, Habcore Inc, Two River Theater Company, Cpc Behavorial Healthcare Inc, and Cobscook Community Learning Center. The foundation is a private foundation, not a funder of individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. Several active programs accept unsolicited requests, including Wabanakiq in Maine grants and New Jersey general operating or project grants.
