The Brookdale Foundation is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, governed by a Board of Trustees and comprised of local business and community leaders who volunteer and contribute their time, talent, and resources to support the organization’s mission.

“These individuals believe in and support our mission – to help students achieve the dream of earning a college degree so they can build a better future for themselves, their families and our communities,” reported Tim Zeiss, Executive Director, Foundation and Alumni Affairs. “Our trustees know that higher education is vital to sustaining our communities, transforms individuals, families, and communities now and for generations to come and is a springboard for those who seize the opportunities that college provides.”

This academic year the Brookdale Foundation awarded over $600,000 in scholarships and grants, including support for the POSEIDON Early College High School in Neptune, the Asbury College Promise, renovation of 21 study rooms in the Bankier Library, Continuing & Professional Studies programs, the Veteran’s Center, the Displaced Homemakers Program, and the Visiting Artist Series.
