Several Atlantic City-based nonprofits received funding to further their missions this week.

The Atlantic City Community Fund in partnership with the Community Foundation of South Jersey awarded grants 37 organizations during a reception at Cardinal Restaurant in Atlantic City.

The annual celebration brought together local changemakers, fund partners and community leaders to recognize the impactful work being done across the city. Grantees had the opportunity to connect, share their missions and engage with the fund's board and supporters.
