The Peter and Carmen Lucia Buck Foundation Grants

The Peter and Carmen Lucia Buck Foundation supports organizations in Connecticut and New York in five program areas: education, outdoors, science, medicine and family projects. Grants are not industry-specific (in other words, they are not made exclusively to journalism organizations), but are distributed based on an organization’s alignment with PCLB’s program areas.

PCLB has three grant cycles each year in August, November and February.

Applications are accepted by invitation only. Organizations whose work aligns with PCLB’s program goals are encouraged to send an email to inquiry@pclbfoundation.org or call and introduce themselves.
