Applicant funding
Individual applicant award amounts are not published.

It is not a fixed award range, and no overall grant pool is stated. Successful applicants receive an award letter around November 16, 2026; grant checks are mailed on a rolling basis after the signed grant letter is received. No mandatory matching percentage or reimbursement condition is specified in the public guidelines.
Eligibility
Only FPWA member agencies that are current on annual membership dues may apply. Eligible applicants must serve children and young people aged birth through 18. An agency may submit only one application; it must coordinate distribution of grant assistance among any multiple program sites. This is a membership-restricted opportunity, not an unrestricted public grant to all New York nonprofits or individuals. Confirm membership before investing in an application.
Allowable uses and restrictions
