Grant Funding Opportunities for Local Impact and Resilience in Florida (USA)
GrantID: 74362
Grant Funding Amount Low: $1
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $10,000
Summary
This grant opportunity offers financial awards to support local projects across a specific state region, with three distinct funding streams: matching grants, mini‑grants, and emergency grants. Matching grants of up to $10,000 are available to nonprofits—particularly civic organizations or community clubs—seeking to invest in long‑term assets like equipment or capital projects expected to last several years. Preference is given to applicants with a history of organizational support or membership, though it is not strictly required
Mini‑grants, capped at $500, are designed for smaller, immediate initiatives intended to benefit youth or community groups. These may include one‑off activities, educational tools, or technology purchases. While these grants are more modest, they accommodate time‑sensitive or smaller‑scale community needs and are awarded based on demonstrated impact, not necessarily requiring matching contributions.
Emergency grants of up to $2,000 are also available, though only when a disaster is officially declared within the covered region. These rapid-response funds are released to support affected areas and are administered jointly by state-level leadership.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit entities operating locally—especially those serving youth—but small business or individual eligibility is not emphasized in this round. The primary intent is to fuel youth development, bolster educational or technological infrastructure, support community resilience, and address urgent needs in disasters. Funds must be used for clearly stated project purposes and are tracked through reporting requirements.
Applications for matching grants are accepted in two annual cycles—typically by end of December and end of June—while mini‑grants and emergency grants can be requested as needs arise. The program aims to empower community groups to grow, enrich, and respond, with grant amounts tailored to match project scope: $10,000 for major build-outs, $500 for small initiatives, and $2,000 for emergency relief.
