About Us
The Civis Foundation supports arts and culture, historic preservation, community building and civic initiatives.
Civis describes its current work through four interconnected focus areas: Arts & Letters, Historic Preservation, Community Building and Civic Initiatives.
The LGBT Community Center in New York received $25,000 in the foundation's 2024 grantmaking.
Grantseekers should avoid treating the 2024 median as a firm guide to the size of all future Civis support.
