NYS Office for Cannabis Management's Community Reinvestment Program

The NYS Office for Cannabis Management's Community Reinvestment Program issues grants to communities disproportionately affected by prior federal and state drug policies in order to redress a wide range of community needs—from housing to childcare to job skills training and many areas in between. The Cannabis Revenue Fund is created from a portion of taxes from legal adult-use cannabis sales in New York State, and a portion of this supports the Community Reinvestment Program. In this first 2024 grant cycle, only 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations who provide services for young people (individuals ages 0-24 years) in designated geographies of New York State are eligible to apply. Proposed services for young people, ages 0-24, should focus on at least one of three program areas: mental health, workforce development, or housing.  Read more about the funding opportunity on their website, and apply by December 13, 2024 at 5:00 PM.
