Consolidated Funding Application Whitepaper

In 2011, Governor Cuomo created the ten Regional Economic Development Councils (REDC) and the Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) to improve New York State’s business climate and expand economic growth.

The CFA is a web-based application designed to streamline and expedite the application process for grants available through New York State agencies and authorities.

This report explains how counties can take advantage of the CFA to learn about and obtain new funding sources for local projects.
