How to Apply
Overview:
The First Niagara Foundation accepts grant applications continuously througout the year. All applications must be submitted through our online application system. Prior to submitting an application, we strongly encourage all interested applicants to review our website for information regarding eligibility and what we fund.
Application Process:
To begin, all organizations must first create an account in our online system. Once the account is set up, applicants will receive an email notification that they may begin the application process. The Foundation utilizes a two part process starting with submitting a Letter of Intent (LOI). If the LOI is accepted, the organization will be invited to complete a full proposal. All reporting and follow-up will be handled through the online system as well.
Step 1: Create an Online Account
