Bender Family Foundation Grant

The Bender Family Foundation provides funding for projects that support arts, culture, education, history, and environmental initiatives. The foundation prioritizes projects located in the city of Albany and Albany County, with additional consideration given to projects within a 30-mile radius of the New York State Capitol Building on State Street in Albany. The grant provides financial support of up to $15,000 for eligible projects. Funding is intended to assist nonprofit organizations and community-based initiatives that align with the foundation's mission of fostering cultural, historical, educational, and environmental enrichment within the designated geographic area. Eligible applicants must be located within the specified geographic boundary and demonstrate a clear alignment with the foundation's focus areas. Preference is given to projects that directly benefit the Albany region. Specific eligibility criteria, including nonprofit status and project scope, may be required. Applications must be submitted by March 12, 2025, which serves as the deadline for the current funding cycle. The foundation may have additional requirements or pre-application steps, so applicants are encouraged to review the guidelines carefully. For further details, applicants should contact the Bender Family Foundation directly. Specific contact information, including email and phone number, should be obtained from the foundation’s official website or funding announcement.
