NYC Green Fund Grassroots Grant Program Is Open

Looking for funding to activate a local park or open space? We’re thrilled to announce another round of the NYC Green Fund Grassroots grant program is now open!   

Over the last year, the Grassroots grant program has awarded over $817,000 to community groups dedicated to local parks across our city. These grants have focused on supporting Environmental Justice areas, majority BIPOC-led groups, and groups with budgets under $50,000, targeting communities that are most vulnerable to environmental injustices. The goal of the NYC Green Fund is to work towards a city where all people can live, work, and play in communities that are safe, healthy, and free of harmful environmental conditions.
