Central Florida Foundation has a mission to support nonprofits by improving their performance, effectiveness, impact, and overall sustainability. The foundation also aims to share deep community knowledge with donors for stronger giving decisions and assists professional advisors in serving their clients better.
The Winter Park Community Grants program is focused on awarding one-time capability building and/or programmatic grants to entities serving Winter Park, FL. The initiative, established by the Winter Park Community Foundation at Central Florida Foundation, aims to distribute three grants this year of differing values: $25,000, $15,000, and $10,000. The grants target unique projects that enhance nonprofits or their programs in areas like education, health, economic stability, and equity. Funding requests can cover a variety of needs such as technology, materials, staff training, and collaborative efforts. However, proposals focusing on marketing, strategic plans, or new staff positions will be less prioritized. The grants do not need to fully fund the proposed projects.
