Morristown Rotary Club Announces Spring 2026 Community Grant Recipients
MORRISTOWN, NJ –
The Morristown Rotary Club is pleased to announce the recipients of its Spring 2026 community grants. This cycle highlights the Club's commitment to supporting essential local services that provide safety, healing, and technological modernization for the most vulnerable members of our community.

"Our local non-profits are the backbone of Morris County," said Aaron Oliver, President of the Morristown Rotary Club. "By investing in these specific programs, we are helping to remove barriers to mental health care, improve the living conditions for families in crisis, and streamline the efforts of those providing grief support to our youth."

Spring 2026 Grant Recipients:

• The Deirdre O’Brien Child Advocacy Center ("Deirdre’s House"):
Funding will support the expansion of the center’s Transportation Program and the implementation of HIPAA-compliant mental health appointment reminder software. These initiatives aim to reduce missed appointments for child abuse victims by addressing economic and logistical barriers to care, ensuring children continue to receive forensic and medical services at no cost.
“A huge thank you to the Morristown Rotary who has partnered with Deirdre’s House by supporting our appointment reminder software and transportation expansion program.
This initiative helps child victims of abuse safely arrive on time to their clinical counseling sessions, ensuring they continue receiving the care and support they need.” Maria Vinci Savettiere, Esq., Executive Director, Deirdre’s House

• Jersey Battered Women’s Service, Inc. (JBWS):
Grant funds are designated for the "Teen Room Upgrade" within the JBWS domestic violence emergency shelter. This capital improvement project includes the purchase of new furniture, computers, and fixtures to create a dedicated, modern space where teenagers can study and decompress while staying in the shelter with their families.

• Good Grief, Inc.:
The Morristown Rotary Club is providing support for critical technology enhancements for the "Nights of Support" peer program. This funding will facilitate the purchase of iPads and Wi-Fi extenders, allowing the organization to transition from a paper-based system to a digital platform. This shift is expected to significantly reduce administrative hours, allowing staff and volunteers to focus more resources on direct grief support for children and young adults.
Christian Heiss, Executive Director of Good Grief noted..
“The Rotary Club of Morristown has been an amazing supporter of Good Grief. We are so appreciative of this grant, which will help our volunteers hold space for grieving kids and families with a little less paper".

The Morristown Rotary Club funds these grants through community-wide fundraising efforts and the dedicated service of its members. Since its founding, the Club has remained a steadfast partner to Morristown’s non-profit sector.
