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.

 This application has closed, and all applicants will be notified of decisions by the end of April 2025. Please check back this summer for information on the next opportunities.
