Monticello, NY – “Money may not grow on trees, but you can better equip your non-profit, small business, or municipality to obtain grant funding,” says Sullivan County Grants Administration Director Arthur Hussey.
He adds that municipalities, for-profit businesses, and not-for-profit corporations are usually eligible for Federal, State, or private charitable grant funding but may find that they are not “grant ready” when an opportunity arises, due to lack of proper project planning.
“There are time-tested methods of approaching project planning to set an organization up for success,” he notes, “and we’re here to help in that regard.”
The Sullivan County Department of Grants Administration will host two free Grant Project Planning Workshops on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, in the Legislative Hearing Room located on the 2nd floor of the Sullivan County Government Center, 100 North Street, Monticello. For the convenience of all, the workshops will be offered at two separate times, from 9-10 a.m. and 6:30-7:30 p.m. In the event of inclement weather, they will be rescheduled to Wednesday, February 25, at the same times.
The workshops will include a high-level introduction to the steps necessary for thorough project planning and is ideal for municipal leadership, for-profit businesses, and not-for-profit organizations.
Pre-registration is requested, but participants are welcome to attend the time slot that best fits their schedule. Register online at www.sullivanny.gov/Departments/grants. Or contact the Sullivan County Planning Division at 845-807-0527 for additional information.
