Event Impact Grant

The Event Impact Grant is administered by the Parikh Giving Alliance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting community development through support in healthcare, education, and the arts. This organization prioritizes equity in grantmaking and aims to empower communities by funding initiatives that deliver measurable and meaningful impact within these three vital sectors. Their annual Changemakers Breakfast is the highlight of their funding cycle, where successful applicants are celebrated and awarded. This grant is specifically designed to support nonprofit-led community events that enhance engagement and programming in healthcare, education, or the arts. The primary goal is to foster community connection and enrichment by supporting events that address specific local needs and amplify access to critical resources. Events must demonstrate clear alignment with at least one of the three focus areas and must benefit the community, particularly in Central Florida. Applicants must be registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in good standing with the IRS. Compliance with all state and federal regulations is required, and organizations must serve communities within the geographical priority of Central Florida. Only one application per grant type per cycle is allowed, and each organization is eligible for only one award per cycle. The application process is open from January 15, 2025, to July 15, 2025, with awards distributed throughout the year. Applications must include a completed form with organization and contact details, answers to several narrative questions regarding organizational overview, event details, mission alignment, and budget breakdown, as well as supporting documents such as the most recent annual impact statement and the IRS determination letter. Applications are reviewed by a selection committee based on criteria such as mission alignment, potential community impact, and feasibility of goals. Finalists are informed prior to the Changemakers Breakfast, where they receive two complimentary tickets and are formally awarded their grants. Grantees must submit an Impact Report within nine months detailing the use of funds and achieved outcomes. For further assistance, applicants can contact the Parikh Giving Alliance directly. However, specific contact names, email addresses, or phone numbers are not provided in the source materials and would need to be confirmed by reaching out through their website or social media platforms.
