Grant Terms

Picture
  • Requests for endowments or multi-year grants will not be accepted.
  • Grant recipients must re-apply each year.
  • Organizations may request more than one grant per year, however each program or organization will be limited to a total of $15,000 in grants per year.

Organizational Requirements

Applying organization must be either a:

1.  Non-Profit Corporation as evidenced by:
    a.  501(c) status with the IRS, or
    b.  Corporation registered as a non-profit organization with the Department of State of Florida, Division of Corporations
         (see www.sunbiz.org); or

2.  Local Municipal Department, including parks & recreation, child services and similar departments; or

3.  Florida School, grades K through 12

501(c) Status - Although junior programs are not required to have obtained 501(c) status from the IRS to be eligible for FJGC grants, such formal, non-profit status is highly recommended.  Having 501(c) status increases an organization's ability to secure grants from other sources and will allow individuals to make tax-deductible contributions to your program.


Amount Requested

Please do not apply for more than $15,000, or your request will not be reviewed.

  • The average grant size will generally be in the $2,000-$15,000 range. 
  • Do not request more than $15,000. 
  • Do not exaggerate your funding requirements. 
  • Grant applications that contain inflated requests will be rejected. 
  • For new organizations and ones that are new to us, we prefer to start at a more modest level of funding and work toward building a long-term relationship.
