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. This year’s grant period has officially closed.

For information about upcoming events jointly sponsored by the program and local community partners, check out the calendar of events for July and August.
