How to Apply
Funding Request Pathways
There are two grant application pathways for the Foundation.
Community Grantmaking
Through the Foundation's community grantmaking pathway, organizations that are tax-exempt under IRS Section 501(c)(3) and provide services to residents of Albany and Rensselaer counties of New York State can apply for funding. The request should be consistent with the Foundation's funding priorities.
"What If...?" Neighborhood
Mini-Grants
Grassroots organizations and individuals residing in Rensselaer County are eligible to apply for funding through the Foundation's "What If" neighborhood initiative. The maximum amount available for a project through this initiative is $5,000, and there are two grant cycles per year.
