The Morris Family Advised Fund has announced that is now accepting applications for support.
Established to support Central New York’s long-term health, vitality, and opportunity, the Fund prioritizes healthcare initiatives and access to education — particularly for children and young people. Its guiding philosophy emphasizes that strong communities are built on strong health care systems and well being, and access to educational opportunity. As such, grants made by the Morris Family Advised Fund are awarded to nonprofit organizations whose work demonstrates measurable and lasting regional impact.
Funding is distributed through an application process, with award amounts varying based on project scope, potential outcomes, and alignment with the Fund’s mission. While the Morris Family Advised Fund actively researches and invites prospective grantees each year, it also encourages organizations with aligned missions to initiate contact through its website.
Interested nonprofits may submit a general inquiry form accompanied by a one-page letter of inquiry (LOI) and verification of tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service code. Organizations that are invited to proceed based on a pre-approval decision may then complete a full application, either by submitting materials online or by mailing a downloaded form to the Fund.
