As a cornerstone of our commitment to community development, this grant round opens the door for innovative projects that align with our mission and elevate the quality of life in Oswego County.

Key Dates:

March 1, 2024: The Strategic Grant Round and Preliminary Letter of Inquiry (LOI) Submissions open. Contact us to schedule an initial consultation.

March 29, 2024: Preliminary Letter of Inquiry (LOI) Deadline for Larger Strategic Grants. This step allows organizations to share a brief overview of their proposed projects, providing an initial insight into their vision.

April 12, 2024: The final deadline for Strategic, Mini-grant, and inaugural Community Enrichment grant applications. This is an opportunity for organizations of all sizes to contribute to community enrichment.
