County Providing Grants Workshop
Just in Time for State Applications

Get the Jump on the Consolidated Funding Process

Monticello, NY –Money may not grow on trees, but you can explore the world of grants for your non-profit, small business, or municipality.

Each spring, through the Regional Economic Development Council (REDC), New York State releases the Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) to improve New York State’s economic growth. The CFA is a web-based application designed to streamline the application process for grants available through New York State agencies and authorities. Since its inception in 2011, the REDC initiative has awarded over $8 billion to more than 9,900 projects.

Counties, municipalities, for-profit businesses, not-for-profit corporations, and others are usually eligible to apply for programs under several categories, including direct assistance to business and other organizations, community development, waterfront revitalization, energy, environmental improvements, sustainability planning and implementation, education/workforce development, and low-cost financing.

The Sullivan County Department of Grants Administration will host a CFA Grants Workshop on Monday, June 9, in the Legislative Hearing Room located on the 2nd floor of the Sullivan County Government Center, 100 North Street, Monticello. For the convenience of community stakeholders, the workshop will be offered at two separate times, from 9-11 a.m. and from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The workshop will include a high-level introduction to grants and a summary review of the resources available through the CFA program.

“The workshop is ideal for municipal leadership, for-profit businesses, and not-for-profit organizations,” noted Director of Grants Administration Arthur Hussey.
