The Camden Coalition and the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation (BMS Foundation) are excited to invite applications for the New Jersey Safety Net Innovation Proposal (NJ SNIP) grant opportunity. The goal of this grant is to increase access to quality mental health services for underserved communities in New Jersey by expanding safety net organizations’ capacity to serve local needs while aligning with broader statewide goals and policy initiatives to support long-term sustainability beyond the grant.

The BMS Foundation aims to fund proposals that will provide impactful, sustainable value for the funded organizations and support demonstrable, strategic capacity building among the state’s mental health safety net providers caring for individuals with a serious mental illness (SMI). The Camden Coalition is supporting the BMS Foundation to co-design, implement, and administer this grant.
