Overview

The OMYF Micro Grants program, initiated by the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation, aims to support small organizations dedicated to enhancing the lives of youth in Central Florida. By providing grants of up to $10,000, the program focuses on grassroots initiatives in areas such as arts, education, health & wellness, and homelessness. This funding is essential for organizations with operational budgets under $500,000, allowing them to bring their impactful projects to life.

The Orlando Magic Youth Foundation's Micro Grant Program is a game-changer. It is designed to provide targeted financial support to local, smaller organizations who share our vision of a brighter future for the youth in Central Florida. This program represents our belief in the power of community-driven solutions, grassroots projects, and the unwavering dedication of individuals who want to make a difference.
We recognize that many worthwhile projects, programs or ideas may lack the necessary funding to take off. The Micro Grant Program is here to bridge that gap, offering accessible funding to those who are committed to creating positive change. Through this program, we aim to empower individuals to turn their visionary ideas into actionable projects or programs that can shape our community's future.
