New York Education Grants

Con Edison seeks proposals for social justice grants that empower disadvantaged and historically marginalized communities to address climate resiliency in New York City and Westchester. The program supports actionable initiatives created with and for communities most impacted by extreme heat, severe weather, and flooding. Priority is given to organizations and partnerships with strong histories of community organizing around justice issues, leadership that reflects community demographics, deep engagement with residents, and clear policy and advocacy goals. Programs may include education on environmental burdens, skills based trainings on preparedness and advocacy, community convenings to plan for climate impacts, and projects that elevate community perspectives for decision makers. Projects must serve beneficiaries within the service territory and in designated disadvantaged communities. Total seed funding of up to 1,000,000 dollars will support programs beginning in July 2024. Eligible applicants are 501(c)(3) organizations; in collaborative projects a designated 501(c)(3) must serve as fiscal agent. Programs must be located within priority communities and demonstrate meaningful community impact. Applications are due May 3, 2024. Grant duration is not stated.
