The primary interest of the Frances L. & Edwin L. Cummings Memorial Fund is to support organizations operating in New York City and Northeastern New Jersey [view map] that provide programs and services in the areas of social welfare, education, and health. The Fund has a special interest in youth programs located in these regions.

We are, however, unable to provide funding for programs within the cultural arts category.

We invite you to browse our site to determine if the work of your organization falls within our areas of interest.

Please note: We can only respond to emails requesting information on our grants program after you have thoroughly reviewed this website.  It is best to contact us with questions for the fall grant cycle between August 1 and September 30 and for the spring grant cycle between February 1 and March 31.
