CNYCF Community Grants Info Session (Virtual)

ABOUT THIS EVENT

As more Central New York nonprofits bring forward innovative projects, applications to our Community Grant program have grown dramatically—making timing and fit more important than ever. Beginning in 2026, we’re introducing priority focus areas for each Community Grant round to make the process clearer, fairer, and more predictable. These priorities are designed to give applicants greater clarity on where funding is most available in a given cycle, making the application process more predictable and fair.

Please join us for a very important information session to learn more about our new process and get your questions answered.

Priority Areas

• Spring round (February 26, 2026 Deadline): Arts & culture, environment, animals, civic engagement, education projects
• Fall round (August 29, 2026 Deadline): Health, human services, economic development projects
