Grant Details

The Provident Bank Foundation (PBF) was established to support not-for-profit groups, institutions, schools and other organizations that provide services in New Jersey communities. The purpose of The Provident Bank Foundation is to provide funding in support of charitable causes and community development activities in communities served by The Provident Bank throughout New Jersey.

Grants fall under three categories in 2023:

• Community Grants: PBF's Community Grant program will focus on funding organizations in need of strategic operating support. Community Grants will be awarded to eligible organizations as general operating support or unrestricted grants.
• Major Grants: Major Grants will focus on funding programs, projects, or initiatives that address immediate needs, create meaningful impact, and lead to sustainable community enhancement. Requests that detail reliable methods for measuring change over time will have a competitive advantage, as will those that offer a regular and sustained presence in the lives of program participants
• Signature Grants: Signature Grants will provide multi-year, flexible funding support for innovative programs focused on long-term, sustainable change.

All grants will be selected based on alignment within PBF's three priority areas:

• Community Enrichment: Programs that drive economic development, contribute to a more well-rounded community experience, serve those with special needs, and provide increased access to information and culture.
• Education: Innovative programming that expands access to, and improves the quality of, well-rounded educational experiences through strong academic support and curriculum development.
• Health, Youth & Families: Programs that ensure people of all ages and means have the ability to live healthier, more fulfilling lives, including access to quality healthcare, nutrition and wellness, and mentorship opportunities.
