Atlas Analysis

Orlando Magic Youth Foundation — Micro Grants

The Orlando Magic Youth Foundation (OMYF) accepts rolling applications for micro grants of up to $10,000 per eligible nonprofit organization. This is a direct, applicant-facing charitable grant supporting youth programs, not a vendor contract. The micro-grant program is distinct from the foundation’s regular summer and winter grant cycles and their separate Letter of Intent deadlines.

Eligible applicants and service area

Applicants must hold current IRS 501(c)(3) public charity status and have received their determination letter at least one year before applying. Organizations must have an annual operating budget under $500,000 and serve youth in one or more of Florida’s Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Polk, Brevard, Lake, and Volusia counties. Programs should address at least one OMYF priority: arts, education, health and wellness, or homelessness.

Award, timing, and expenses

The applicant-level request limit is $10,000. Applications are accepted year-round without a fixed deadline, then reviewed in quarterly groups: October–December applications are awarded around mid-January; January–March around mid-April; April–June around mid-July; and July–September around mid-October. The official micro-grant section does not publish a universal cost-share percentage. Applicants must confirm any project-specific restrictions with the funder; the general OMYF grant section identifies exclusions such as political activity, debt reduction, and fundraising events.

How to apply

Use the official OMYF grant portal linked from the funder’s grant page. Required documents listed for micro grants include the full organizational budget, latest filed IRS Form 990/990-EZ/990-N, determination letter, bylaws, and board list. The funder’s separate standard-grant audit requirement is not listed among micro-grant required documents. Confirm current portal instructions before submission.
