About Us

Founded in 1947, the Monmouth Park Charity Fund was created as a way to give back to the Monmouth County community following the reopening of Monmouth Park Racetrack. What began with a single Charity Ball has grown into a lasting tradition of philanthropy, bringing together volunteers, donors, and community leaders to support local nonprofits.

Today, the Monmouth Park Charity Fund is a completely self-funded, volunteer-driven organization. Every dollar we grant is raised through the generosity of individual and corporate donors, sponsorships, fundraising events, and community support.

For nearly 80 years, the Fund has awarded nearly $11 million in grants to hundreds of nonprofit organizations providing vital health, human services, education, arts, environmental, and community programs. Through our three annual grant programs, we invest in organizations that are making a meaningful difference throughout Monmouth County.
