Summary
This funding opportunity is intended to support programs and projects serving a region spanning two counties in New York. The grants are primarily aimed at nonprofit organizations (or projects with nonprofit fiscal sponsorship) though in certain cases public institutions or municipal entities may also be eligible—generally not individuals or for-profit businesses.
The purpose of the funding is to catalyze impact: it seeks to support initiatives that address community needs such as education, health and human services, arts & culture, economic development, community revitalization, and equity. Applicants are encouraged to propose clear, outcome-driven work with tangible benefits and timelines. Funds are not intended for general operating support in all cases, but rather for specific project costs or program expansions with measurable results.
Grant awards vary depending on the opportunity. In some rounds, awards may reach up to $15,000, while in others smaller grants of $2,500 or less are accepted for shorter-term, immediate needs. The funding is competitive, and multiple rounds are offered each year, with application windows posted periodically. Some funding is available constantly through a catalog of shorter projects; other opportunities have firm deadlines (for example, in one round the application period runs from October 1 to October 31).
Selection criteria emphasize alignment with community priorities, demonstrated capacity to execute the project, clear outcomes, and sustainability (or the potential for impact beyond the grant period). The funding is regionally focused—serving the two counties in question—and intended to enhance local organizations’ ability to meet pressing needs in their communities.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in New York that are actively involved in Awards. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
