Grant Writing Tips

In addition to attending an SCR grant-application seminar or individual consultation with the SCR coordinator if you are required to (or, if not required to, would like to), please read the SCR application guidelines in their entirety first. These guidelines are updated each year to meet NYSCA's requirements.

Crediting Your Grant

It is mandatory that all SCR grantees credit the program appropriately. It helps raise awareness for funding programs such as SCR and shows your legislators, NYSCA staff members, and the general public, including NYS taxpayers, how valuable these funds are. Please use the following statement exactly as it appears on all SCR grant-sponsored program materials:

This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts.
