Global NY Fund Grant Program

Global NY Fund Grant Program sits under Empire State Development and backs New York-based businesses that are trying to enter or expand in international markets. The program also reaches nonprofits and economic development organizations that provide export education, so its role is broader than a single-company export subsidy. The grant is structured as reimbursement support. Companies can receive up to $25,000 and recover up to 50% of eligible project costs, while nonprofits and economic development organizations can receive up to $100,000 and recover up to 75% of costs. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, which makes the program more useful for firms that are ready to move when an export opportunity appears. Applicants usually need a project that is clearly tied to market-entry work, export education, or the practical costs of expanding abroad. The strongest fits are New York organizations with a concrete international plan and documented project spend, since the program is designed to reimburse activity rather than finance open-ended exploration.
