About Our Work Newsroom Take Action DONATE Grantmaking Aliens of New York, Astoria, Queens For the last 46 years, CitizensNYC has been awarding micro-grants for community building projects. The funds come from a combination of private foundations, corporate sponsors, and individual donations. Neighborhood Business Grants Supported by Wells Fargo Small businesses, vital to the fabric of their neighborhoods, will receive grants of up to $10,000 to maintain payroll and operations. We will prioritize businesses owned by people of color, immigrants, and women, businesses that have the greatest need and minimal access to resources, as well as those that modify their operations slightly in order to remain open during the pandemic (i.e., hire delivery workers, increase inventory, or make modifications to provide product pick-up). CitizensNYC has cultivated the infrastructure, expertise, and community knowledge to help struggling New Yorkers directly. Our relentless commitment to empower even the hardest-to-reach New Yorkers has built a reputation that we will now leverage as we embark on this new grant program.

All In Neighborhood Grants Citizens Committee for New York City awards micro-grants up to $5,000 to community building projects carried out by resident-led groups to address issues they identify as important to them. Today, our grantmaking focuses on supporting projects that improve neighborhood life, strengthen local leadership, and scale community partnerships. We invest in neighborhood-led efforts to build a NYC that benefits all, especially in times of crises. Grassroots leaders, especially in low-income communities, know and have what it takes to roll up their sleeves and make change to boost civic engagement, neighborhood wealth, and community health.
