The Foundation awards member retailers grants throughout the year to conduct marketing and safety training and more. New Jersey retailers contribute annually to the national PERC, of which 20 percent was awarded to the NJPERF in grants throughout the year. Some of that funding went to the development of this web site. Check back often to see what exciting new things the NJPERF is doing to benefit the member retailers and consumers in New Jersey.
