Third party payer plan
In many cases, CRE’s work can be delivered to nonprofit community groups at no cost. Over the years, CRE has developed a unique “third party payer plan” building relationships with corporate, foundation and government grantmakers to underwrite our consulting work.
You may qualify for management assistance at no cost to your nonprofit, if you are a grantee of:
- Department for the Aging
- The Robert Bowne Foundation
- The Carnegie Corporation
- Department of Youth and Community Development
- The Staten Island Foundation
- The New York Foundation
- The Union Square Awards
Capacity Account
A small number of organizations who do not qualify for one of CRE’s third party payers and who lack the ability to pay CRE directly may meet the criteria for short-term assistance through our Capacity Account. The Capacity Account which is funded by general operating support grants and individual contributions. Currently, the Capacity Account prioritizes immigrant organizations and HIV/AIDS prevention programs.
Call your program officer at the relevant foundation or our intake line 212-894-3395 for more information or link to our intake form.
