The Commission's funding comes primarily from City tax-levy monies and the Federal Community Development Block Grant (HUD). Contracts with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Ryan White C.A.R.E. Act, the US Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Foundation, the State Archives and Records Administration (SARA) and NewYork Community Trust provide additional funding. Although the Commission received additional funding in 2003 through grants, it was subjected to a City budget-balancing 12% reduction in tax-levy monies.
