Mini-grants available to nonprofits

The Daily Star reported that the New York Council of Nonprofits and the United Way of Delaware and Otsego Counties is accepting applications for its Delaware County Mini-Grant Program.

The annual program is designed to improve the governance and management operations of qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofits that are located in or provide substantial services to Delaware County.

Grants will be awarded competitively on a first-come, first-served basis to qualifying nonprofits with approved project activities. Grant criteria and application are available by request. The earlier a qualified application, is submitted the more likely grant funds will be available, officials said.

NYCON, formerly CCSNYS, is a governance, management and support services organization serving charities in the state. NYCON has a membership of more than 1,600 charities of all types and has offices in Albany, New York City, Buffalo, Poughkeepsie and Oneonta.
United Way of Delaware and Otsego Counties serves 12 programs in nine health and human service organizations, as well as providing support for the Delaware County Mini-Grant Program.
