HOW DO I APPLY FOR A GRANT?
Central Florida Foundation draws on information from profiles in our Nonprofit Search database to assess and identify grant recipients. To be considered for one of the three types of grants available, the first step is to create a profile in Nonprofit Search.

TYPES OF GRANTS

COMMUNITY INVESTMENT

COMMUNITY INVESTMENT

Our Community Investment Grants take place year-round and are focused on nonprofits in the Central Florida region. These Impact Fund and Portfolio grants are initiative based and by invitation only. There is no application required and a profile on Nonprofit Search is the first step for consideration.
APPLICATION-BASED

APPLICATION-BASED

We have three application-based grant cycles: Winter Park Community Grants in the fall, Grassroots Grants in the spring and TableTalk following our event every October. Nonprofit Search profiles are required for a complete application.
SIGNATURE FUND GRANTS

SIGNATURE FUND GRANTS

Signature Fund Grants are independently directed by donors who have established Signature Funds with Central Florida Foundation. The grant process is driven by recommendations from the fund's advisors. *While these grants are not directed at the discretion of the Foundation, we recommend nonprofits establish a Nonprofit Search profile for greater visability.

Increase your nonprofit's visibility.

Nonprofit Search is a searchable database of profiles with information provided by nonprofits and validated by the Foundation team. Central Florida nonprofits are encouraged to create and maintain a profile, as having an active profile is the first step in qualifying for many grants across the region, and having an active profile increasing your visibility to our community of philanthropists.
