These grants are generally available to nonprofit organizations, though some small businesses may also qualify depending on the type of project being proposed. The funding is focused on a variety of areas including education, arts and culture, environmental projects, youth development, and initiatives that support underserved or historically marginalized populations.



The grants typically serve organizations located within specific regions of upstate New York, covering multiple counties. Applicants are encouraged to submit proposals that clearly outline their goals, demonstrate measurable outcomes, and show how the funding will contribute to meaningful change in the community. The intent of the funds is usually flexible, allowing recipients to use them for operational support, program development, special projects, or capacity-building activities that align with the broader priorities of the grant.
