To be considered for a Community Grant, eligible organizations must submit a complete Application which will be reviewed for alignment with the priorities of the grant program. Organizations may request between $1,000 and $5,000.
PBF will accept Applications on a rolling basis from January 3, 2023 until 11:59 PM EST on October 27, 2023. Please allow PBF 90 days to review your request and communicate a response.
PBF will not be accepting grant proposals in 2024 as we undergo a strategic review and refresh of our operations, but we are committed to providing funding support during that time. Therefore, Community Grants funded in 2023 will be automatically renewed and funded again in 2024.

Signature Grants will provide multi-year, flexible funding support paid out over one, two, or three years for bold, innovative programs that propose solutions to these problems.
