Caren Kaufman Memorial Grant Program
Sustainable South Jersey announced our new grant program in 2023, created to honor Caren Kaufman, a grassroots activist who was dedicated to sustainability and health. In 2010, Caren was diagnosed with breast cancer. Receiving this unexpected, life-changing news triggered her to research causes; she wondered if environmental factors could have contributed to her illness. Due to generous donors, the Caren Kaufman grant program will issue grants $500-$1000.
