The Carlilian Foundation Releases 2024 Grant Program
$300,000 planned for distribution this year
The Carlilian Foundation plans to distribute about $300,000 in grants in 2024 to eligible 501(c)3 non-profits that serve the people of Schenectady County, NY.
There are two distinct grant programs offered:
About $50,000 is intended to be invested in one or more projects addressing the goals of the Green Spaces Initiative (GSI). Green Spaces is intended to provide support for transformative projects in under-served areas that improve the urban environment.
$120,000 is available generally for Community Grants, which is open to any non-profit that serves Schenectady County, NY. Funding is restricted for capital improvements or hard assets needed by organizations that enhance their ability to serve the community.
In addition, roughly $130,000 is earmarked for maintenance and improvements to Schenectady’s Central Park Rose Garden. The garden has been lovingly restored, cared for and enhanced by the Rose Garden Restoration Committee, in part thanks to the long-term financial support of The Carlilian Foundation, as directed in the estate of the Foundation’s founder, Charles W. Carl, Jr.
