Discretionary Contracts

Contract Processing Information

For awards cleared in Fiscal Year 2021 or later, the contract registration process is managed in PASSPort. For more information and resources visit the Learning to Use PASSPort webpage.

Discretionary funds are funds that non-profit, community-based social service providers use to meet the needs of local communities. The funds are allocated by the Members of the New York City Council. City agencies, such as DYCD, administer Discretionary contract funds.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING FY 2023 CONTRACTS:

If your organization has awards to be cleared in FY21 or later, it must have a PASSPort account. Please see this one-page Account Creation Guide for more information. To view your organization’s award designations and their clearance status, please visit the Discretionary Award Tracker.
