  Funding Restrictions

New York State law and Council policy restrict the types of activities and expenditures that the Council may fund. The Council is unable to fund the following:

Accumulated deficits and debt reductions

Activities not open to the public, for example, activities restricted to an organization's membership. Funded activities must be open to the public and promoted as such.

Competitions and contests

Components of an organization's budget to be used towards programs taking place outside of New York State

Hospitality and entertainment costs for receptions, openings, and fundraising benefits/events

Major expenditures for the establishment of a new organization

Operating expenses and fellowships at professional training schools that are not open to the public

Operating expenses of privately owned facilities (such as homes or studios)

Out-of-state travel expenses

Programs of public school districts and their components and affiliates

Programs which are essentially recreational, rehabilitative, or therapeutic

Public colleges and universities except in limited circumstances. Entities with close public college or university affiliations will be examined on a case-by-case basis to determine eligibility. Please download and complete this form to help determine eligibility. Such applicants are strongly advised to contact Council program staff in advance of the registration deadline to determine eligibility.

Requests for amounts that are greater than an organization's total operating expenses minus its total operating income


How many grants can an organization apply for?

In FY13, organizations are limited to two grant requests each. Each ongoing multi-year grant counts as one request. The following categories are exempt from the two request limit (in other words, they do not count towards an organization’s limit of two requests).
