Upcoming Grant Opportunities for Westchester County and Beyond
Grant writing is the practice of completing an application process for a financial grant provided by an institution such as a government department, corporation, foundation, or trust. The application process is generally referred to as either a grant proposal or a grant submission. Grants vary greatly. Apply only when your organization is the right fit or you will be wasting your time. The application will tell you everything that you'll need. Most will only consider working with a 501(C)(3). Applications can be as short as a 1-pager or be much longer. Give yourself enough time to write proposals (if requested), gather documents and to put a plan together for the grant money if awarded. Go to the websites of the organizations below to find details and organizations:
