Request for Letters of Inquiry – Liberty Fund at The New York Community Trust
The Trust and the New York Foundation created this special funding opportunity to help City nonprofits address immediate issues affecting vulnerable New Yorkers in this moment of change.
The Liberty Fund will support projects that must begin immediately and fit one or more of the following categories:
- Addressing discrimination, including hate crimes, by race, gender, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity;
- Protecting the rights of immigrants;
- Increasing health insurance enrollment to ensure continued coverage;
- Providing mental health and emotional support to affected individuals and communities; and,
- Meeting other unexpected and time-sensitive needs.
LOIs are due on January 13, 2017. City nonprofits and small community organizations are encouraged to apply. Grants will be made in February 2017, and are expected to range from $10,000 to $100,000. (The larger end of the range is for groups of organizations working together on a single project). The request for LOIs includes information about the types of projects that will be given priority, and the process for submitting an LOI.
Kindly share the Liberty Fund request for LOIs with City nonprofits that may benefit from this opportunity.
