Prudential Community Grants Program
Prudential Financial, Inc., is proud to work with The Community Foundation of New Jersey to administer the Prudential Community Grants Program.
The program provides local Newark organizations and individuals with microgrants to support projects that create vibrancy in their neighborhoods. Local changemakers and leaders often have ideas for solutions to support their neighborhoods, but they may not have access to the necessary financial resources.
In an effort to provide greater access, the Prudential Community Grants Program supports community-based projects that have the potential to make neighborhoods more stable and empower residents to make the changes they want to see.
