Since 1994, the City of Orlando has
provided citizens and residents with the Mayor’s Matching Grant Program.
This program provides grant funds to neighborhood associations, schools
and non-profit organizations to plan and implement projects that address
neighborhood needs, improve education, and build community pride. The
Mayor and City Commissioners believe in the power and creativity of its
citizens to address challenges, build community and develop
relationships with fellow neighbors, community partners, and local
businesses through the Mayor’s Matching Grants.
The Mayor's Matching Grant cycle is currently open. Click one of the
links below to download a copy of the current application.
Completed applications must be submitted by 5 pm on Friday, April 19,
2013.
Application workshops are offered to organizations wishing to
apply for a Mayor’s Matching grant. There are two different formats to
attend an Application Workshop – either via webinar/conference call
(March 6th, 13th, 20th, or 26th)
or at Orlando City Hall (March 16th or April 9th).
Attendance at an application workshop is
required. Workshops will review the guidelines, instructions
and application procedures. Each workshop will cover the same
