The Provident Bank Foundation awarded more than $620,000 in grants to 43 nonprofit organizations during its first cycle of giving in 2022.
The awardees were located in 13 counties in New Jersey as well as three in Pennsylvania and one in New York.
The foundation’s awards went to its three priority areas: community enrichment, education and health, and youth and families. The amount of the grants ranged from $5,000 to $25,000.
Executive Director Samantha Plotino said the foundation appreciates the impact these organizations have on their communities.
