Application

Please note, in order to be considered for discretionary funding (both expense and capital), you must fill out the City Council application in addition to our office’s supplementary form below.

The Council’s FY2025 expense funding application will close on Tuesday, February 20, 2024. No further applications will be accepted after this date. If you did not complete your discretionary funding application prior to this date, you will not be eligible for funding during this budget cycle. The form below is used to schedule meetings for those who have already submitted their application.

If you or your organization have questions regarding your Council application, please email discretionary@council.nyc.gov, and if you have specific questions regarding your application for the district, please email Blake Shaw at BShaw@council.nyc.gov.
