If every household in Maplewood and South Orange gave just $25, we could raise $350,000 to provide ongoing financial support to local nonprofits—arts, environment, youth, seniors, and more.

What a night! Thank you to everyone in Maplewood and South Orange who made our second Trivia Night Fundraiser a spectacular success!

Shout out to Eric McGowan and Pallet Brewing Company for co-hosting and the donation of the space -- and to our Trivia Guru Jose Ortiz, who kept the energy high. We also want to recognize Fred Shandler and Artie’s for the delicious pizza donation!

To everyone who attended and those who made an additional donation at the event: your generosity helped us raise over $4,000 for The Maplewood Foundation!

Congratulations to the winning team: Les Quizerables.

Last Friday, we welcomed a dynamic group of 20 current, past and prospective grantees to our annual Nonprofit Networking & Information Session at The Baird in South Orange.

What started as an informational session quickly became something more—new connections, fresh ideas and early collaborations already taking shape. This is exactly the kind of momentum we hope to build as we head into our next season of grantmaking.

Our 2026 grant applications open June 1, 2026.

🟢Stay tuned for details on eligibility and how to apply. https://themaplewoodfoundation.org/grants/
