PSEG Foundation accepting applications from nonprofits for over $1M in grants

For the 11th year, the PSEG Foundation is inviting nonprofit organizations to apply for a portion of $1.2 million in grants through its Neighborhood Partners Program (NPP).

Beginning Thursday, May 15 and continuing through Monday, June 30, the NPP will accept applications from eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations requesting grants of $500 to $15,000 to help close critical gaps for local communities across Long Island and in New Jersey.

“We know how hard it can be today for families to find good jobs, afford basic needs and build a better future. That’s why we believe so strongly in working together — to help people find opportunities and make everyday life more affordable,” says Calvin Ledford Jr., president of PSEG Foundation. “The Neighborhood Partners Program is about investing in the people and organizations with a track record of making a real and ongoing difference.”

This year the PSEG Foundation is seeking applications from organizations to fund their programs to expand access to environmental sustainability and stewardship, and initiatives that support communities facing financial challenges such as food security, workforce development and training programs.

Awardees will be selected based on a judgment of demonstrated program effectiveness, depth, breadth and overall alignment with the mission of PSEG Foundation. Organizations can apply for a NPP grant by visiting pseg.com/neighborhoodpartnersprogram. Grant recipients will be announced on a rolling basis.
