The Iselin-based Provident Bank Foundation recently announced its Major Grant recipients for its second cycle of 2023. The foundation awarded $410,000 in total to 35 nonprofit organizations within the foundation’s three priority funding areas: Community Enrichment, Education and Health, and Youth and Families.
Major Grants awarded during this cycle range from $10,000 to $20,000 per grant and will provide funding for organizations across New Jersey and Pennsylvania communities served by Provident Bank. They will be automatically renewed and funded again in 2024 as the Provident Bank Foundation embarks on a full-scale operational refresh in the new year.
“The recipients of our second cycle of 2023 Major Grants are fantastic examples of how investing in our communities can transform the lives of those who need it most,” Samantha Plotino, the executive director of the Provident Bank Foundation, said. “The Provident Bank Foundation team is looking forward to seeing how these grants will be used to enrich and widen the capabilities of the organizations that receive them.”
