Description
The New York Community Trust – Long Island’s Competitive Grants Program supports projects responding to needs, problems, or opportunities on Long Island. Its nine program areas are arts, community development, education, environment, health, hunger, mental health, technical assistance, and youth development.
Proposals should explain the need for the work, its alignment with The Trust’s Long Island goals, and how planned activities will benefit people or improve policies, systems, or services. The program considers expected outcomes, plans to measure results, and the organization’s ability to carry out the project. Renewal requests must also address progress made with earlier support and how the work will be sustained.
