Prudential Community Grants Program

Prudential proudly partners with the Community Foundation of New Jersey to manage the Prudential Community Grants Program.

This program provides local organizations and individuals with micro grants to support projects that create vibrancy in their neighborhoods. These community-based projects have the potential to make neighborhoods more stable and empower residents to make changes they want to see. Local changemakers and leaders often have the solutions to support their neighborhoods, but typically lack access to financial resources. Newark residents, Newark-based organizations and Newark-based small businesses with an operating budget under $500,000 can apply. 

We are excited to announce that the Prudential Community Grants Program will be accepting applications starting in January 2025. This initiative aims to support local organizations that are dedicated to making a positive impact in their communities. We encourage all eligible nonprofits and community groups to apply for funding to help further their mission and drive meaningful change. Stay tuned for more details on the application process and deadlines. Together, we can build stronger, more resilient communities.
