Solicitation Profile
Nonprofit organizations provide critical services to millions of New Yorkers each year on behalf of State and local governments. Using nonprofit organizations to provide these services results in a cost-effective delivery system that helps meet the needs of New Yorkers, including many of the State’s most vulnerable populations. Many of the services that nonprofits provide on behalf of the State result in long-term cost avoidance and savings by intervening to help avoid crisis situations.

In order to support the work of the State’s nonprofit direct human services partners, the Nonprofit Infrastructure Capital Investment Program (NICIP) was initially appropriated $50 million in the 2015-2016 Enacted Budget. An additional $50 million was appropriated in the 2016-2017 Enacted Budget for a total of $100 million. The full $100 million will be awarded through this RFA.

Please note that the application questions have changed, and, therefore, applicants may not simply resubmit an application submitted in response to the NICIP RFA issued on December 11, 2015. Applicants who previously submitted an application in response to the prior RFA are encouraged to apply in response to this RFA by submitting a new application for either the same or a different project. No awards will be made under the prior RFA.

Purpose of Funding

The Nonprofit Infrastructure Capital Investment Program will make targeted investments throughout the State in capital projects that will improve or maintain the quality, efficiency, accessibility, and reach of nonprofit human services organizations that provide direct services to New Yorkers through State contracts, State payment rates, or State authorized payments which represent funding appropriated by the State and passed through to a local government which then provides that funding directly to the nonprofit organization.

There are several NICIP specific webinars available for applicants. Technical webinars will focus on the Grants Gateway, such as login / password, prequalification status, application entry, completing online forms or uploading documentation. Additionally, during the DASNY hosted webinar on September 1, DASNY will have a chance to address questions and clarify specific elements of the RFA announcement. Grants Gateway Staff will also be available for technical questions.
