Non-Profit Grant Program launch
Summary
Port Chester nonprofits can now apply for LDC grants of up to $10,000 each for capital purchases and workforce programs, with applications accepted on a rolling basis through May 2027. The board is deliberately keeping the rules light to reach smaller nonprofits that don't usually win big grants, and requiring quarterly outcome reports from grantees.
