Our office offers several forms of assistance to support your organization’s funding efforts. Please see below for more information.
- Please sign up for our Grants Newsletter.
- You can also request a letter of support. (Please note, requests must be submitted at least 14 days before due).
- On December 16, 2025, Senator Kim’s office held a webinar for public and non-profit groups across New Jersey to discuss federal grants, the federal appropriations process, and best practices for a successful CDS application. For more information, please watch the webinar and view the slide deck.

To request a letter of support from Senator Kim to accompany your grant application, please provide the information below and submit it with a draft letter of support. After reviewing the information, a staff member will contact you with any additional questions and let you know if Senator Kim may be able to assist.
Due to the high number of letter requests, our office requires at least two weeks’ notice prior to the application deadline to allow sufficient time to review and prepare the letter.
Please note that, as a government, we may only provide letters of support for federal and state grant applications.
