Supporting Organizational Resiliency through Multi-Year General Operating Support

Strengthen Organizations
General Operating Support
Organization: North East Community Center
Grant: $100,000
Grant Year: 2021
County: Dutchess
State: NY

General operating support is unrestricted funding directed to an organization’s operations, rather than to a particular project or initiative. The 2021-2024 cohort consists of three organizations.

We created this program because we believe that when organizations know that they have multi-year general operating support, they will be more comfortable to take risks, using operating grants to respond to new challenges and opportunities. Overtime, we believe this will contribute to a more resilient and effective social sector.

“… when organizations know that they have multi-year support, they will be more comfortable to take risks and will be able to respond to emergent needs, challenges, and opportunities nimbly and without reservation.”
