Schools and tax-exempt 501(c)3 non-profit organizations are awarded matching 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. Neighborhood organizations are awarded matching grants of up to $5,000 to implement physical improvements, public safety or educational projects that benefit neighborhood residents. All grant awards are matched dollar for dollar by the applicant using a combination of volunteer labor, cash and/or in-kind donations of goods or services. The appropriation request serves the best interests of the City of Orlando and would not violate any local, state or federal law or state or federal constitutional provision.
