Submission Instructions:

The deadline for application submission is MONDAY, MARCH 5, 2024. Applications may be submitted electronically (preferred) or by mail along with all supporting documents between FEBRUARY 5 2024 – MARCH 5, 2024 (ONLY).  Applications submitted prior to February 5, 2024 will not be reviewed or accepted. If mailed, must be postmarked by, or prior to March 5, 2024.  There will be no extensions or exceptions.

The NJECC Steering Committee will assess applications for compliance and completeness before making recommendations for approval or decline.  The NJECC Campaign Manager will notify all applicants of their campaign status.

Please read the application documents thoroughly. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Two ways to submit completed application:

Option 1 = Electronic Form (preferred)

To make it easier for you to complete your application and submit required attachments, and to help us streamline and manage the application process, we encourage you to submit your application electronically.

The application form will ONLY be available between February 5, 2024 – March 5, 2024. During that time, you may select the appropriate application link below to start the process. If you would like to view what information you will be asked to provide prior to February 5, please click the appropriate “Mail-in” link below for a PDF overview.

Note about “Saving” your electronic application: Once you have started your electronic application, you may click the “save” button to save your application progress and pick back up from where you left off at a later time. When you “save” your application, you will be provided a unique link to use for resuming your application (you can have that link emailed to you if you choose). After you have saved your application, that unique link will not change. You can “save” your application as many times as you need and should use that same unique link until you are ready to submit your application. Only that unique link will give you access to your saved application; otherwise, you will have to create a new entry for your organization and start over. Please note, the unique link for your saved application will expire after 28 days and the electronic application links will automatically be deactivated after the March 5, 2024 application deadline.

Option 2 = Mail-in Form

If you are unable to submit your application, using the electronic application links above, you may mail your completed application, including all attachments, to one of the following addresses.
