Grant amounts range between $10,000 to $450,000 for each year of a two-year grant. We base the amount on the applicant's:
- General operating budget size
- Application score (you must score 75 points or more)
- GFTA’s FY25 and FY26 budget availability
Grants awarded to organizations receiving GFTA funding for the first time will not exceed $10,000 per year.
Grants awarded to organizations who have received grants from GFTA previously, but whose application did not score high enough to receive an award for the last application will also not exceed $10,000 per year.
If you are awarded a two-year grant,
- GFTA will calculate your award amount for the first year of the grant, FY25.
- GFTA will not allocate an award amount for the second year, FY26, until the City’s budget has been approved in July or August of 2026.
- The award amount for the second year may be equal to, less, or more than what you were awarded in the first year depending on the city’s budget health.
GFTA may in its sole discretion increase or decrease an organization’s FY26 grant amount.
