The HealtheVoices Impact Fund is a philanthropic initiative by Johnson & Johnson administered in partnership with the Community Foundation of New Jersey. The fund is designed to support innovative efforts by online health advocates who serve and assist patient communities through digital platforms such as blogs and social networks. Recognizing the value of these platforms in providing inspiration, education, and community support to both patients and caregivers, the fund aims to amplify these efforts through targeted grant funding.
The fund is open to individual U.S. citizens aged 18 or older and U.S.-based nonprofit organizations. Individual applicants must apply personally, as grants to individuals cannot be awarded to LLCs or nonprofit entities, nor can individuals request funds on behalf of nonprofits. When completing the application, individuals should use their personal names in both the organization and name sections of the application form. Nonprofits must meet specific eligibility criteria outlined on the application portal.
Applications for the 2025 funding cycle open on May 6, 2025, and will close on July 8, 2025, at midnight Eastern Time. Applications submitted after the deadline will not be accepted and no extensions will be granted. Applicants can expect to receive a decision on or before November 15, 2025. Both individual and nonprofit applications must be submitted through the designated online portal, where applicants can select the appropriate form.
To assist applicants, the foundation provides separate question lists for nonprofit and individual applications, though these are not the actual application forms. Additional resources include an FAQ document and a guidance video from former Impact Fund advisor Daniel G. Garza. These materials are intended to help applicants prepare compelling proposals.
For further assistance, applicants may contact Nancy Magee at nmagee@cfnj.org. The fund is a testament to Johnson & Johnson’s ongoing commitment to community health and support through digital advocacy. Other J&J-related funds, such as the Janssen Cares Contributions Fund and the Johnson & Johnson Healthcare Systems Fund, are available by invitation only and have separate contacts and criteria.
