Can I submit more than one NYSCA application?
Yes. You may submit up to three NYSCA applications per grant cycle, but they must be for separate projects. Each request must be between $1,000 and $5,000 and the total may not exceed $5,000. An IND-TIER application counts as a NYSCA application and should be figured into the 3 request/$5,000 limit. In addition, you may submit an application to DCA and eligible organizations may also submit an additional JPMC request.
