Summary

A funding opportunity is available for small, community-based nonprofit organizations operating within select regions of New York City and the surrounding Hudson Valley. Grant awards typically range from $2,500 to $5,000, with limited opportunities reaching up to $10,000 depending on the project scope.


Eligible applicants are generally nonprofit organizations or groups with fiscal sponsorship, particularly those with modest operating budgets. Individuals and for-profit businesses are not eligible. Priority is often given to grassroots organizations led by and serving communities impacted by social and economic inequities.


Funds may be used for organizing efforts, advocacy initiatives, leadership development, or strategic projects that aim to create systemic change. The grant emphasizes timely impact, collaborative engagement, and long-term community benefit rather than direct service delivery or general operating expenses.
