Fiscal Year 2027 Capital Funding Requests

DCLA oversees the request process for all funding sources (Borough President, City Council, and Mayor) for Cultural Capital projects. Borough Presidents and Council Members may have applications with earlier deadlines – separate from the official request process. Please inquire with the appropriate office to determine their needs.

Cultural Capital Funding is available for members of the Cultural Institutions Group (CIG) and cultural nonprofits based in New York City who have received at least one baseline Cultural Development Fund (CDF) recommendation through the DCLA Program Services Unit, in fiscal years 2023, 2024, 2025.

Historic House Trust projects are handled by NYC Department of Parks & Recreation (or DPR). Historic House Trust properties should reach out to DPR and elected officials and apply through the "All Other" portion of CapGrants.

Cultural Capital Funding may only be allocated if a request has been submitted formally using DCLA's FY27 Capital Funding Request Package through the official CapGrants Portal.
