- Form of application
- NEW YORK CITY COMMUNITIES PROGRAM: BEGINNING IN 2022, WE WILL CLOSE OUR LETTER OF INQUIRY PROCESS IN THE NYC COMMUNITIES PROGRAM. WE MADE THIS DECISION IN AN EFFORT TO BE MORE TRANSPARENT WITH GRANT-SEEKERS. OVER TIME AS THE PROGRAM DEVELOPED, WE HAVE PRIORITIZED COMMITMENTS TO OUR CURRENT GRANT PARTNERS IN THE CORE FUND SUPPORTING COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. AS A RESULT, WE HAVE FEWER RESOURCES TO OFFER TO POTENTIAL NEW GRANT PARTNERS IN THE COLLABORATIVE CAMPAIGN AND CAPACITY BUILDING FUNDS

Where this comes from
Grant lines are from Part XV of this foundation's Form 990-PF (XML). The filing names each payee but gives no tax ID, so WHOFUNDS matched payees to the IRS Business Master File. Lines it couldn't match confidently are listed as filed. Method and limits.
