Capacity Fund Grant Proposals
——————————————————————————–
Deadline: October 1, 2007
Partnerships for Parks’s Capacity Fund provides grants to groups working in parks across the five boroughs of New York City. The Capacity Fund supports projects that help build a community group’s capacity to care for their local park. Grants range from $250 to $5,000.
Strong applications will improve a group’s ability to care for its park, put on programs and events, or expand collaborations with other neighborhood groups. We fund new groups seeking funds for startup costs (setting up a mailbox or voicemail, paying postage for a mailing, etc.), as well as established organizations taking on new projects (bulletin boards, outreach events or activities, fundraisers, mailings, or brochures). Guidelines and application available at http://www.partnershipsforparks.org/ .
