The Provident Bank Foundation will narrow our focus to increase our impact in 2 key ways:

• Refine the areas of charitable focus to ensure more targeted funding requests, thereby
• Increasing the ability to impact root causes of economic insecurity in the communities we serve

In line with a trust-based philanthropy approach, we will increase our available flexible funding support for grantees, as well as focus on multi-year grants, to drive deeper impact through the nonprofits we support and strengthen our relationships with community organizations.

The Provident Bank Foundation will continue to prioritize diversity of identity, perspective, and experience, working to ensure our Board and staff reflect the communities that we serve.

The Provident Bank Foundation is proud to be part of the Provident Financial Services family. As such, PBF will meaningfully leverage the time, treasure, and talent of all employees, capitalizing on increased awareness and alternative structures for supporting grantees.
