21st Century Fund Grant
Supporting High-Impact Projects Across Western New York
The 21st Century Fund is a giving circle made up of over 300 separate member donors. One single $100,000 award is made to a 501(c)(3) non-profit every other year through a member driven vetting and voting process. The 21st Century Fund is unique in that successful applicants will make presentations to and interact with the membership at two separate large group events.
The 21st Century Fund welcomes applications for high-impact projects.
The amount available is one single $100,000 grant that will go to one nonprofit.
