Become a Beneficiary

Each year The Clothes Exchange of Bergen County selects a new nonprofit organization to be the beneficiary of our Spring event.

All beneficiaries must be 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that work to encourage and promote women's self-sufficiency, human rights, health and well-being.

We do not fund:

  • Individuals
  • Organizations that do not have a women’s focus.
  • Organizations whose sole activities are income-generation and/or charity.
  • Organizations based or working primarily outside of their communities.
  • Government entities, political parties, religous (non-secular) organizations, or partisan causes, including election campaigns.

If your organization is interested in applying to be a beneficiary, please email a one page letter of interest to info-Burlington@theclothesexchange.org. In the letter, please include:

  • An overview of your organization's mission
  • A description of your need
  • A plan for what you'd do with the money raised
  • Information that tells us why you think your organization would be a good match for The Clothes Exchange

Letters of inquiry must be received by November 1.
Those selected to apply will be notified by December 15.

Full Applications are by invitation only.
