The Prudential Foundation

• Newark is this foundation's stated priority, so a small organisation working on neighbourhood improvement or education there is the clearest fit, while its grants elsewhere do not show who may apply.
• For a small request, the Prudential Community Grants Program offers up to $5,000 and directs applicants to the Community Foundation of New Jersey for details, and applications for the annual programme close in February.
• Most of its grants fall between $25,000 and $515,000 and half are $150,000 or less, so a request near $150,000 sits at the middle of what the filing shows, though that band is typical rather than a ceiling.
• In the filing, 85% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had already funded, so the foundation looks relationship-led and a first approach should be modest and well targeted.
