Grant Information

Current Grant Offerings

GVCA is very excited to have facilitated so many grants this year due to the generous support of out elected positions and the Aid to Localities Relief Funding. The Aid to Localities Relief Funding Program is a new and exciting program made possible through funds provided, for a limited time, by a special initiative led by Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and the New York State Senate. Our organization is grateful to our elected representatives and state officials for their commitment to supporting arts and culture in New York State.
