PPL Selected for Bank of America’s Neighborhood Builders Program

November 12, 2026

Providence Public Library is honored and delighted to be selected as a 2026 Bank of America Neighborhood Builder alongside LISC Rhode Island. This prestigious recognition includes $200,000 in unrestricted funding over two years, as well as leadership development opportunities for our Executive Director and an Emerging Leader on staff.

PPL will use the grant to expand opportunities for youth leadership, increase access to free digital and adult literacy classes, and strengthen career pathway services, helping more community members build the skills and resources they need to thrive.

Thank you Bank of America!
