Small Grant for Youth and Community Projects in Florida (USA)
GrantID: 75436
Grant Funding Amount Low: $750
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $10,000
Summary
This grant opportunity is available to service clubs and their youth‑led divisions in the Florida region, with a focus on enhancing projects that benefit children and youth. Eligible applicants include the clubs and divisions of a state‑level service organization that operate within Florida. Funds are intended for concrete community projects rather than general administrative expenses.
The program supports several types of grants, including smaller “mini‑grants” on a first‑come/first‑served basis and larger matching grants that require the club or division to contribute funds alongside the award. Project priorities include improving educational opportunities, supporting young people’s leadership, bolstering reading and literacy programs, or aiding recreational and community‑based initiatives that directly serve children and youth.
For mini‑grants, requests may be modest (for example in the hundreds to low thousands of dollars), while matching grants may range up to several thousand dollars for capital improvement or equipment‑based projects. Matching grants require the applicant to provide equal or greater funding from their own club or division for the project to proceed. Mini‑grants often do not require a match and are designed to respond to smaller and more immediate needs.
Applications are accepted on cycles that may correspond to semi‑annual deadlines (for example, in December and June) for the larger grants, while mini‑grants may be processed throughout the year until funds are exhausted. Awards are made once per appropriate review period and the program is repeated annually, subject to availability of funds each year.
Overall, this grant is well suited for local clubs in Florida that are actively engaged in youth‑oriented service projects and want to initiate or expand a tangible, time‑bound effort—such as building playground equipment, launching a reading program, or acquiring youth‑centered supplies—for which a smaller infusion of funding can make a meaningful impact.
Organizations and individuals based in Florida who are engaged in Education may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
