The Hudson Farm Foundation was founded in 2000 with the purpose of supporting qualified charities in the immediate vicinity of Hudson Farm. The Foundation is funded by the Club’s Members each of whom contributes a portion of their dues to the Foundation annually.
More than $11,000,000 has been distributed to those qualified charities since inception. Recently, the Foundation has expanded its consideration of qualified recipients to include approved organizations who operate and maintain a physical presence within Sussex County, New Jersey.
Charities the Foundation has supported include Project Self Sufficiency, Habitat for Humanity, The Karen Ann Quinlin Foundation, and local animal protection agencies as well as rehabilitation clinics, Fire, Police and Ambulance services that provide essential services to our community, including our Members and staff.
New charities may submit their request to be included in the Foundation’s approved list. Once reviewed, they may be asked to provide a presentation at a future club gathering. Requests for review should be sent to:
Hudson Farm Foundation
Attn: Steve Polanish

The Foundation is committed to serving our community and is looking forward to the continued growth of the Foundation and our list of approved charities.


Charity Hikes
at Hudson Farm Club

Hopatcong Township Hike
The Hudson Farm Charity Hike for Hopatcong Township supports local organizations, including emergency services, school PTOs, Project Graduation, youth and sports groups, as well as the Friends of the Library and the Lake Hopatcong Foundation. This event offers the community a chance to come together, hike the scenic grounds of Hudson Farm Club, appreciate its historic property, and contribute to the organizations that help serve our community.
Byram Township Hike
For over 15 years, Byram Township charities have been supported by the Hudson Farm Foundation. The hike’s success is thanks to the participation of the local community and the dedication of volunteers who help make the event possible. Held annually in October, rain or shine, the hike attracts participants from not only the local area but also from across the United States and even Europe. Each year, the hike offers new trail options, adding variety to the experience. The true beauty of the property lies not just in its landscape, but in the ongoing support of those who generously contribute to our local charities.
