How to apply
Its grants go to individuals, not organizations. Every grant in its 2023 filing was paid to an individual (for example a scholarship or assistance with costs), so it is not a funding prospect for a nonprofit.
Bergen Foundation says in its IRS filing that it only makes contributions to preselected organizations, so unsolicited applications are unlikely to be considered. Organizations it funds are usually invited.
