“Provident Bank is proud to support these impactful non-profit organizations through the NRTC program,” said Mary Brown, Senior Vice President, Chief Compliance Officer. “Our investment in this initiative plays a vital role in helping these organizations fulfill their missions and revitalize their communities, aligning with our ongoing commitment to supporting the neighborhoods we serve,” added Brown.

The NRTC Program, which is administered by DCA’s Division of Housing and Community Resources, is designed to jumpstart the renewal of neighborhoods at risk of experiencing a downturn. It accomplishes this through strategies developed by local residents and community-based nonprofit organizations that assist them, as well as through financial contributions from corporations.

The community organizations prepare, submit, and receive approval from DCA for multi-year revitalization plans for the neighborhoods they serve. The corporations contribute funding to the NRTC Program and in return receive a 100 percent tax credit against various New Jersey state taxes. Every year, projects from the approved revitalization plans are listed in a qualified projects pool from which corporations choose the ones they want to financially support.

The NRTC funds must be used by the nonprofit organizations for projects and activities that will implement the goals of the approved neighborhood plans.
