Check out the CFA

The CFA (Consolidated Funding Application) is a grant-related initiative by New York State and the Regional Economic Development Council. The CFA is a web-based application designed to streamline the application process for grants available through New York State agencies and authorities. Each spring, the Regional Economic Development Council opens the CFA and available resources guides.  Most applications are subject to deadline submissions at the end of July; however, some programs have open enrollment. For information, please refer to the Sullivan County Department of Grants Administration annual CFA Alert.
