NYC GREEN FUND GRASSROOTS GRANT PROGRAM

Looking for funding to activate a local park or open space? The NYC Green Fund Grassroots grant program provides funding support from $1,000 to $40,000 per year along with the option of two-year funding for returning grantees to better sustain projects long-term. The NYC Green Fund Grassroots grant program is intended to advance the viability of grassroots initiatives across parks and open spaces in all five boroughs and to foster a resilient network of equitable, public green spaces.

Congratulations Spring 2025 NYC Green Fund Grassroots Grantees!
