Nov. 28, 2018: The Community Fund of Bronxville, Eastchester, Tuckahoe, Inc. is currently accepting grant applications for the 2019 fiscal year from qualified applicants.
Applications must be received by Friday, January 18, 2019, for consideration.
Nonprofit organizations who qualify are invited to apply. Funding is determined based on a number of factors, including community needs, distribution of existing services, impact on the community, population served, quality of administration/service, collaboration, and financial condition.
Another $50,000 has been set aside for discretionary grants for the fiscal 2019 year. This available funding is offered to nonprofits, community programs, and qualifying municipalities that need assistance for new projects. This process is done on a rolling basis. Past projects include refurbishment of the Tuckahoe basketball courts, capital upgrades for TYA and Eastchester Little League, defibrillators for local schools, police radio equipment, and administrative support for local community programs. Our most recent discretionary grant was awarded to OSilas Gallery to support a special education art program for local high schools.
Heading up agency evaluations for this year are Community Fund board members Jennifer Buckley and Jonalie Korengold.
