WHAT TO SUBMIT – FIRST STEP APPLICATION

To apply for support from Blue Ridge Foundation New York, please submit the following:

1) A short letter of inquiry describing your proposed organization and its program model. The maximum length for this letter is 2 pages.

2) A budget for the first two years of operation that you believe is necessary to meet the goals described in your letter.

* Please note: There is no standard amount of funding that Blue Ridge Foundation New York will provide - our support for individual organizations will depend on the number and type of groups within our portfolio at any given time. We expect - but do not require - that the first year budgets of most groups, including salaries, will be in the $100,000 to $300,000 range.

3) Resumes of all the people who will hold leadership positions in the proposed organization and a description of their anticipated roles.

Please email these materials to apply@brfny.org with “application” and your organization’s name in the subject line.  You will receive a confirmation response within three business days.

We do NOT accept applications sent via U.S. postal mail or fax.
