Deadline: 30-Sep-22
The City of Orlando is currently offering grants to neighborhood organizations for projects that implement physical improvements or enhancements, improve sustainability and resiliency, increase public safety or provide educational and cultural opportunities that benefit neighborhood residents.
The Mayor’s Matching Grant (MMG) program provides funding for neighborhood projects that address neighborhood needs and improve the quality of life in City of Orlando neighborhoods. The purpose of the grant program is to provide the neighborhood organization with resources to implement neighborhood enhancement projects that the neighborhood would not normally be able to fund.
Funding Information
Grant funds are available bi-annually, with awards ranging from $500 to $5,000 that are matched dollar for dollar by the applying neighborhood organization using a combination of cash, in-kind contributions and volunteer labor. Requests may be made in increments of $500.
Eligibility Criteria
