2025 NYSCA NYTAP Regrant Program

For New York State Literary Magazines and Presses

Guidelines

CLMP is pleased to offer New York State–based literary magazines and presses the opportunity to apply for grants of $2,500, $5,000, and $7,500 to support projects that build organizational capacity and ensure greater sustainability.

The NYSCA NYTAP Regrant Program serves as an interim step toward applying to NYSCA for organizations with budgets large enough to be eligible but without the capacity to apply, and for those publishers with budgets too small to be eligible to apply to NYSCA directly. All projects must focus on capacity building, not the routine costs of publishing. Examples of projects include software upgrades, design projects, accessibility initiatives, special marketing efforts, and development/fundraising efforts. Consultant fees to assist in executing the project may be included in the project budget. Final reporting is required from all grantees.

Eligibility and Requirements

  • Applicants that received NYSCA funding for 2025 are ineligible.
  • Applicants must be New York State-based literary magazines and/or presses.
  • Applicants must be nonprofit organizations or have a fiscal sponsor.
  • Applicants must have published at least one title or issue within the past 18 months.
  • Applicants must be able to complete the proposed project by November 30, 2025.
  • Requested amounts cannot exceed 50% of an organization’s operating budget of the most recently completed fiscal year.
  • Applicants are required to provide a final report to CLMP at the conclusion of the regrant period. Note: 25% of the funds will be held and released to grantees only upon the completion of a satisfactory final report.

Review Process

Applications will be reviewed based on the following criteria:

  • Completeness and clarity of application
  • Feasibility of capacity-building project as described
  • Potential impact on organizational capacity and/or sustainability

Grants will be recommended by an independent panel of three individuals. Final grant decisions will be approved by a committee of the CLMP Board of Directors.
