In an effort to help non-profit, faith-based and community-based organizations, with support finding and applying for public and private sector grants, New York State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo is informing those seeking alternative funding opportunities to check out "Pathways to Funding," a monthly online publication distributed by the New York State Senate Democratic Conference. 

"This information is a guidebook for local groups, many of whom have witnessed a decrease in governmental funding," Addabbo said. "Inside, you find listings for federal, state, local and private grants to help these organizations sustain their vital programs." 

In addition to providing alternative grant opportunities, it includes tips to help navigate the NYS Grant Gateway—an online portal for announcing upcoming and available State grants—as well as webinars on grant writing, helpful hints, and other useful information. 

To learn more about the opportunities provided, visit the Senator’s website at addabbo.nysenate.gov or nysenate.gov/pathways-funding. You can also contact Senator Addabbo at 718-738-1111.
