(updated 1/6/2026) In 2026, Empowerment Grants will provide two years of flexible funding support for programs, projects, or initiatives that are based within our geographic footprint and align with at least one of our funding priorities and the corresponding areas of interest. Grants must demonstrate community enhancement and meaningful impact over the grant term. PBF will not be accepting Signature Grant applications in 2026.
The Signature Grant program emphasizes sustainable community enhancement, meaningful impact, and long-term change. We seek to build relationships with organizations that have the capacity and drive to facilitate the creation or expansion of programs that address the chronic problems impacting quality of life in our communities.
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. PBF will not be accepting Signature Grant applications in 2026. Important Instructions for submitting a request Please read the Guidelines and follow all instructions and deadlines carefully.
Failure to follow directions may result in requests being denied. All requests must be submitted through PBF's Salesforce portal. Ensure all required documents are attached.
Only complete applications will be reviewed. Late submissions will not be accepted. No changes or additions will be accepted after submission.
PLEASE NOTE: Requests will not be accepted from organizations with active grants from PBF. We must also be in receipt of all progress reports from previous grants. The Provident Bank Foundation is on Salesforce!
