APPLY NOW: GRANT AWARDS INCREASED TO $3000 The NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund (NYC Green Fund) was launched by a coalition of foundations shortly after COVID-19 hit our city to address the financial impacts of the pandemic on parks and green spaces. The Fund is intended to support organizations of any size that care for New York City’s green spaces in order to keep our parks, gardens, and open spaces green, clean, and safe. We are excited to announce that thanks to additional contributions to the NYC Green Fund, the maximum grant amount has been increased! We are now offering grants of up to $3,000 to groups with annual operating budgets of less than $15,000 and demonstrated experience working in NYC’s open spaces and supporting community health and wellness. The deadline to apply is Wednesday, July 21, 2021 at 12 noon. Check out our info session webinar and learn everything you need to know about applying for funding. APPLY MONDAY MORNING PITCH-INS Parks across the city are being used more than ever before as a result of the pandemic, which often means more litter. Show your park some love and join a Monday Morning Pitch-In! We're looking for volunteers to join clean-up projects to help pick up trash after a busy summer weekend. Your invaluable help will make parks cleaner, safer, and greener for our families, pets, friends, and neighbors. Projects typically last three to four hours and we provide all supplies. As an added incentive, Chameleon Cold Brew, in partnership with NYC Parks, is thanking volunteers with a special offer. After participating in a pitch-in project, volunteers will be eligible for a chance to win a year's supply of Chameleon Cold Brew! *some restrictions apply.  *Pitch-Ins will be held on the Tuesday following holiday Mondays.
