Grants Finance is responsible for the financial management of over $3.5 billion dollars supporting approximately 12,000 State and federal grants annually. Grants are awarded to over 3,500 local agencies, including public school districts, nonpublic schools, Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), municipalities, post-secondary institutions, private not-for-profit organizations, community based organizations and library systems.

Our website offers a great deal of guidance and other information regarding procedures and policies pertaining to State and federal grants. If you have further questions or need assistance, please contact one of our finance policy managers.

We also offer continously-updated reports for each agency receiving grants from the Department. If you have further questions about the financial status of a grant or grant contract, such as allocations, payments or audit information, please contact one of our Grant Information Specialists.
