Facts and things to verify
Evidence
- Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo — official requirements
- The current application process is open.
- The published deadline is November 30, 2026, at 4 PM.
- The Design and Access category supports qualifying organizational applicants.
Hypotheses — not established
- Preparing a clearer evidence-led project may improve readiness, but no eligibility, partner interest or award is established.
Constraints and next checks
- Confirm the applicant is a qualifying WNY 501(c)(3) nonprofit or government agency.
- Confirm the project fits Design and Access; individuals are not direct applicants.
- Confirm required land-owner permission before proposing changes to land.
- Requests are $10,000–$50,000; eligibility and award decisions belong to the funder.
- Playgrounds, sports facilities and community gardens are excluded from this category.
- The packet is preparation only. Submission, certifications, accounts and outreach require your separate action.
- The source states 4 PM; the displayed countdown interprets this as local Eastern time. Confirm directly with the funder.
- Field limits are summarized from the current public application preview. Consult the official form before submission.
- Never invent an EIN, finances, beneficiaries, partners, permissions or outcomes.
- The public preview excludes projects needing funding before May 1, 2027. Confirm the current official application.
