In fiscal year 2015-2016, the City of Orlando is awarding 13 grants totaling $81,500 in the second cycle of the Mayor's Matching Grant Program (Website).
This represents 8 awards to schools and 501(c)3 non-profit organizations (ranging from $2,500 to $10,000) and 5 awards of up to $5,000 to neighborhood organizations.
All activities and projects will take place within the City of Orlando.

The Mayors Matching Grants program was started in 1994.
Schools and tax-exempt 501(c)3 non-profit organizations are awarded grants up to $10,000 and are encouraged to partner with neighborhood organizations, community groups and business partners to offer programs that engage our City's youth in constructive, adult supervised activities during non-school hours.
