For Grantseekers

Philanthropy New York is a membership association of more than 280 grantmaking organizations. We serve our members through professional education programs, networking opportunities, and collaborative funding initiatives.

Although Philanthropy New York was formed to serve grantmaking organizations, we provide additional resources and services to grantseekers as part of our commitment to strengthening the nonprofit sector. However, please note that Philanthropy New York does not make grants.
