In May 2011, Governor Christie signed into law N.J.S.A. § 52:16A-110 requiring the Department of State to maintain, in a single, accessible location, a directory of State departments and agencies that provide resources to assist nonprofits in their daily operations.
The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) developed this online resource for nonprofits in New Jersey seeking to utilize various funding sources and volunteer opportunities available through the Department.
These resources include available funding sources offered by NJDOT (along with eligibility criteria for such funding), various volunteer opportunities available with or through the Department and other information related to nonprofit operation, such as forms and guidance documents.
The New Jersey Department of Transportation's (NJDOT) youth corps initiative is a federally funded, community service grant program, which is designed to partner NJDOT with not-for-profits, community-based organizations or other entities with established youth programs who carry out transportation-related gateway enhancement projects. One of the fundamental benefits of the program is funding for youth employment. Youth participants gain valuable work experience through employment on small, community gateway enhancement projects. They also gain a sense of community pride by engaging in paid, productive community service work. NJDOT benefits from the enhancement projects which improve the appearance of State roadways in urban areas.
NJDOT is not currently accepting applications for the Youth Corps' Urban Gateway Enhancement Program. The application due date closed on March 8, 2013.
