Frequently Asked Questions

My organization has a New York State Tax Exempt certificate, do we qualify for funding? Do you fund other 501(c) agencies? Does the Foundation give grants to individuals? How much support can my organization request? When submitting a proposal, how much information should be sent initially? What are the deadlines for proposals? If my proposal is declined, can my organization reapply? ~ It depends on the reason for the declination. If your organization and/or proposal is clearly outside our guidelines or geographic funding area, then we are not able to fund you. If, however, the declination reflected annual budget restrictions for the Foundation, then a request the following year could be considered.
