Info Session #1 – NYSCA Reserve Fund Grants (Reserve Fund Overview)
The NYSCA Reserve Fund Grants (RFG) will provide grants to NYSCA-funded organizations to establish a reserve fund or build on an existing reserve fund.
Conceived by the New York State Council of the Arts (NYSCA) and in partnership with the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), this program is open to nonprofit arts organizations based in New York State who have received direct funding from NYSCA in the last three years, and have a current operating budget between $150,000 and $3 million. Individual grant amounts will be awarded in accordance with the applying organization’s operating budget, up to $50,000.
The NYFA Grants team will host two virtual information sessions during the application cycle.
This session will focus on Reserve Funds, while the second session will provide an in-depth overview of the application process and program guidelines.
Both live sessions will have a Q&A section where attendees can ask the Grants team questions about the application process. All info sessions are held virtually over Zoom, are free to attend, and are in English.
