The grants will be awarded in two categories – neighborhood revitalization and organizational capacity-building – to support a one-time use of funds that meets an immediate need and a longer-term impact. Eligible projects can be stand-alone activities or a discreet part of an ongoing initiative.

The grants are open to New Jersey-based housing, community development, or community development support organizations that have been in existence for at least one year, have 501(c)(3) designation and operate in a municipality in PSEG's service territory. The application deadline is October 10, 2012.
The Neighborhood Revitalization Grants will provide up to $15,000 to fund distinct activities that advance a neighborhood revitalization plan. Initiatives that involve partnering with your municipality or key stakeholder organizations are encouraged.
The Organizational Capacity-Building Grants will provide up to $8,000 for projects or activities that will improve the effectiveness of an organization and its impact in the communities it serves.
