Phillips Legacy Microgrant Program<\/a> have opened, meaning 15 nonprofits in Orange and Osceola counties will be chosen and awarded a $5,000 grant. The winners will be recognized at the annual Dr. Phillips Charities Impact Awards in October.\n<\/p>\n<p>The program shows Dr. Phillips Charities\u2019 commitment to investing in organizations that intend to strengthen community and create opportunities for Central Florida residents. Since the program\u2019s launch, 30 microgrants, totaling $150,000, have been given to local nonprofits with annual operating budgets of $2 million or less.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38995\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38995\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dr-phillips.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\"  \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-38995\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 2024 winners of the Dr. P. Phillips Legacy Microgrant Program award of $5,000.<br \/>(COURTESY OF DR. PHILLIPS CENTER)<\/p>\n<p>Eligibility is available to those who work in the \u201cgiving areas\u201d of Arts &amp; Culture, Children &amp; Youth, Education, Health, and Social Services. Priority is given to organizations that lower pressures economically on low-income or ALICE families (asset limited, income constrained, employed). It is also important for eligibility that through this work, they create lasting community impact.\n<\/p>\n<p>While $5,000 may not seem impact-worthy, the grants have proved to often be catalysts for smaller nonprofits needing to expand. For example, a previous Legacy Microgrant enabled the Mental Health Association of Central Florida to upgrade technology for its Connections Referral Program. This improved uninsured Central Floridians\u2019 access to mental health services.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>The deadline to apply is Aug. 7, 2026.
