Ideal Applicant
Mid‑to‑large nonprofits working primarily in New Jersey in higher education, health, human services, or food/security programs seeking general operating or general support funding.
Good Fit
- • Primary operations or measurable impact in New Jersey.
- • Work in higher education, health, human services, or food-security/after-school programs.
- • Requesting general operating or general support funding.
- • Capacity to be a repeat grantee and report local outcomes.
Geography
Observed giving is geographically narrow: nearly all grant dollars (about 98%) go to New Jersey recipients despite the foundation being based in Pennsylvania, and only three states received grants in the latest year.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 29–33 distinct recipients each year (33 in the latest year) with a mix of returning grantees and new entrants, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation’s size even though some large grants concentrate dollars.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness exists: a public PNC Charitable Trusts page and formal application process (annual deadline of October 15) are posted, and the grant history shows multiple new recipients each year (seven new in 2024), so unfamiliar applicants can plausibly access funding.
