Capital Funding Request

DCLA oversees the request process for all funding sources (Borough President, City Council, and Mayoral) for Cultural Capital projects. Please check specific application deadlines for each funding source as they may differ.

Your Borough President and City Council member may have supplemental applications with different deadlines. 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 one of the past three fiscal years.

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.
