The New Jersey Devils Youth Foundation, supported by the New Jersey Devils and Prudential Center, is dedicated to providing life-changing opportunities to the youth of New Jersey through sports and entertainment. The Foundation has made a significant impact by issuing a record number of grants, both in terms of monetary donations and support for nonprofit organizations across the state.
