The PSEG Foundation is committed to creating more inclusive, sustainable, and equitable communities for all. As part of the commitment to social value, the PSEG Foundation’s strategic pillars are environmental sustainability, social justice, equity, and economic empowerment. Through the NPP, the PSEG Foundation aims to partner with organizations that are transformative, leading change on issues impacting our communities and working towards collaborative solutions.

This year the focus of the program is on environmental sustainability and comprehensive support services that address pressing economic needs: affordability, food security and workforce development initiatives.

• Funding consideration will be provided for programs in alignment with one or more of the PSEG Foundation pillars:

-The Environmental Sustainability pillar promotes environmental stewardship by expanding environmental education and broadening the message around energy efficiency, which empowers communities to make informed, sustainable choices. By working to preserve ecosystems, encourage conservation, and foster environmental justice, we help build healthier neighborhoods.

-The Community Well-Being pillar focuses on strengthening the systems, resources and relationships that enable communities to thrive and withstand crises. We will help individuals and families live safe, connected, and fulfilling lives within their communities by supporting initiatives that promote stability and long-term resilience, inclusive of disaster preparedness and recovery.

-The Economic Empowerment pillar focuses on upward economic mobility that expands STEM educational opportunities, advances workforce readiness, addresses food insecurity and basic needs. Through this support we will address affordability and create long-term economic security for the communities we serve.

Nonprofits can only receive one (1) grant per calendar year from the PSEG Foundation.
