Rochester-area nonprofits should apply directly via the published email or contact address and include EIN, audited financials, current operating budget, and a concise description of mission and program. Out-of-area organizations should seek a Paychex employee sponsor to submit on their behalf and tailor requests to the foundation’s stated focus areas, keeping ask sizes consistent with the foundation’s many small-to-midsize operating grants while noting occasional larger grants are made.
