10/29/21 3:00 PM EST - Community Grants are reviewed on a rolling basis.
Grants of up to $5,000 to New Jersey, New York City, and Pennsylvania nonprofit organizations for operating support in eligible regions. Funding is intended to foster greater organizational efficiency, leading to broader impact in one of the following priority areas: community enrichment, education, health, youth and families. Eligible areas are communities in New Jersey, New York City, and Pennsylvania that are served by Provident Bank.
Beginning in 2021, The Provident Bank Foundation’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.
The Foundation believes that unrestricted funding to organizations whose missions are aligned with those of the Foundation is the best way to achieve lasting impact and give grant partners the flexibility needed to reach their goals. Rapidly changing societal circumstances are causing the needs of communities to shift dramatically. Allowing the Foundation's partners to modify their use of funds accordingly will enable them to innovate, grow, and serve their communities in the way they know best. This will allow them to maintain momentum no matter what crises strike, and deploy funds in the most beneficial manner.
Organizations applying for a Community Grant must demonstrate their mission’s alignment to one Funding Priority Area.
Community Enrichment: Organizations that drive economic development, contribute to a more wellrounded community experience, serve those with special needs, and provide increased access to information and culture.
Education: Organizations that expand access to, and improve the quality of, well-rounded educational experiences through strong academic support and curriculum development.
Health, Youth & Families: Organizations 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, or mentorship opportunities.
