Proporcionar is closer to furnish or avail something for a specific purpose. It is a more sophisticated word than proveer.
Another use of proporcionar is to make something proportionate, but I don't think this is the meaning you are trying to convey here, since you are comparing this word with proveer.
Proveer is to supply or facilitate obtaining something to meet a specific need or requirement.
I hope this helps!
