The Community Leaders Grant, administered by CitizensNYC, provides up to $5,000 in funding to small nonprofits, volunteer‑led initiatives, and public schools across the five boroughs of New York City. The grant supports projects in arts and culture, education and youth, environment and climate, health and wellness, economic development, and public safety. Applications are open to groups that are community‑oriented, have at least two volunteers, and are not profit‑generating; budgets must be under $250,000 (schools exempt). Projects must take place between October 2026 and September 2027 and be located within NYC. The application process requires a project description, cost estimation, artwork portfolio, CV, and artist statement, and takes roughly 2–3 hours to complete. The deadline for submission is Monday, July 27 2026 at 5 PM (EDT). Successful applicants receive a cash grant of $5,000 and capacity‑building support from CitizensNYC. The program runs annually, with new cycles announced each year.
