We provide seed funding and other types of grants for people who care for local parks and open spaces across our city.
Looking for funding to support your local park, community garden, green street, or street trees? The NYC Green Fund Crowdfunding Challenge provides up to $2,500 in matching funds to approved community projects that are hosted through an ioby crowdfunding campaign. Projects benefiting an NYC green space are eligible to have their ioby crowdfunding campaign matched. If approved, the NYC Green Fund contributes one dollar for every dollar raised-up to $2,500 ($3,000 for organizations based in Environmental Justice Areas)!

Looking for funding to activate a local park or open space? The NYC Green Fund Grassroots grant program will provide funding support from $1,000 to $40,000 per year along with the option of two-year funding for returning grantees to better sustain projects long-term. The NYC Green Fund Grassroots grant program is intended to advance the viability of grassroots initiatives across parks and open spaces in all five boroughs and to foster a resilient network of equitable, public green spaces.
We are not accepting applications at this time.
We bring New Yorkers together in their parks by offering free programs. Please give now if you can to support our work in all five boroughs.
