Important Update on the NYS Grants Gateway

The NYS Grants Management team has announced that on January 16, 2024, New York will transition grantmaking activities from the Grants Gateway to the Statewide Financial System (SFS). SFS has noted that grant opportunities published in the Grants Gateway prior to the January 16, 2024 transition date, with a due date after January 16, 2024, will be completed in the Grants Gateway. See graphic below for the respective publication dates for these funding opportunities.

If you need to register in the Grants Gateway to apply for one of these Grant Opportunities, email their Help Desk and include the name of the grant opportunity you are applying for, the due date, organization name, organization SFS ID (if applicable), and contact name and phone number. They will then verify the grant is offered in the Grants Gateway and provide a Grants Gateway registration form.
