Eastwick Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Ramsey, New Jersey.[1][2] Founded in 2007 as the philanthropic arm of Eastwick Colleges, the Foundation awards need‑based scholarships to students at Eastwick's four campuses and the affiliated HoHoKus School of Trade & Technical Sciences while also underwriting local hunger‑relief and literacy initiatives.[3][4]

History

Eastwick Foundation was founded in 2007 by Thomas M. Eastwick.[5][6][7]

Programs

Eastwick Elite Scholarships

Eastwick Foundation provides scholarships to students at Eastwick College and the HoHoKus School of Trade & Technical Sciences.[5][8]

Eastwick College and the HoHoKus School of Trade provide scholarships twice each year, one in the spring and one in the fall. During each period, they award approximately 12-20 scholarships, with amounts ranging from $1,000 to $2,500.[8] They also provide other scholarships throughout the year, including an Emergency Scholarship Fund.[8]

Eastwick College students also receive a book scholarship and a laptop, collectively valued between $2,500 and $3,000. Students at the HoHoKus School of Trade receive a tool scholarship valued between $400 and $600. High school students who enroll in the HoHoKus Trade School Blended Learning Program receive a scholarship ranging from $1,000 to $2,000.[8]

Feed The Hungry

Feed The Hungry is the main community support initiative of the Eastwick Foundation.[9][8] In this program, students and staff host fundraising events to support local food banks and each contribution is matched by the president of Eastwick College.[8][3]

In 2023, the program allocated $55,000 to 11 local food banks; the same target has been set for 2024.[8]

Since its inception in 2013, it has distributed $405,000, with half contributed by the President of Eastwick and half by donors.[8][3]
