About The Foundation

The John E. Kostic Memorial Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that works to improve the lives of young people in southern New Jersey and the surrounding areas. The Foundation works to bring hope, inspiration and a little bit of fun to those who need it most.

The foundation currently funds the following programs regularly:

1. Granting wishes for seriously ill children in the state of NJ through the help of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Jersey.
2. Funding a regional scholarship for incoming college freshmen living in the state of NJ who are living with juvenile diabetes. *Check back for more information. The Foundation will be finding several of these scholarships for those graduating from high school in June 2011.*
3. Funding scholarships at Delran High School and Rider University.

In addition to these regularly funded programs, the John E. Kostic Memorial Foundation has donated over $200,000 since its inception in 2006 to countless other organizations.
