Summary

This grant program offers flexible funding designed to strengthen nonprofit organizations. The opportunity provides multi-year support to eligible charitable organizations that are deeply rooted in their neighborhoods and focused on equity, justice, and community-led change. It is not available to businesses or individuals.


Funding amounts vary by organization size and type of request. Larger nonprofits with annual budgets over $100,000 may receive general operating support grants of up to around $45,000 per year, renewable for up to three years. Smaller organizations with annual budgets below that threshold can apply for a one-year microgrant of up to $10,000. The total amount awarded is based on the applicant’s operating budget and demonstrated community impact.


This funding is intended to strengthen organizations by covering day-to-day operational needs such as staff support, program delivery, or community outreach. Rather than requiring a specific project, the funds allow recipients to use resources where they are most needed, offering flexibility that helps organizations sustain their missions and adapt to evolving challenges.


Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, with decisions typically made twice a year. The review process emphasizes community impact, inclusivity, and alignment with goals that advance social justice and strengthen local leadership.The benefits of this grant include reliable funding for essential community services, enhanced organizational stability, and the ability to focus on long-term goals rather than short-term funding cycles. 


For nonprofits rooted in the borough and dedicated to addressing systemic inequities, this opportunity provides a meaningful path toward greater impact and sustainability.
