Deadline: 23-Jul-21
The Northern New Community Foundation stewards a variety of competitive grant programs that are open to eligible tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties.
Community Foundation grants are awarded to support programs and projects that are responsive to the evolving needs of the region in areas that include: human services, health and wellness, arts and culture, education, families and youth, conservation and environment, community development, recreation and more.
Grant proposals are evaluated based on the quality of planning, leadership, support, funding available for disbursement, passion and vision clearly expressed in the application.
Funding Information
Grant requests of $5,000 or less may be approved at the committee level. Larger grant requests are referred to the Board of Directors with a committee recommendation. Applicants will be notified of the grant award or denial by letter after the Board of Directors meeting.
Eligibility Criteria
Grants can only be paid to a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit or to a public entity, such as a municipality. If your organization does not have this classification, you may partner with an eligible nonprofit organization, municipality, or entity to serve as your fiscal sponsor. Agencies seeking funding through this funding opportunity must confirm partnership with an eligible nonprofit organization or fiscal sponsor at the time a grant proposal is submitted. Please contact the Community Foundation for further assistance, if needed.
