Grant Program
FWF Educational Grant Program
The Florida Writers Foundation, Inc. (FWF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that improves literacy within Florida by enhancing reading and writing skills in children, teens, and adults. We support existing programs and initiatives as well as new programs. Our volunteers have made a difference in people’s lives by visiting elementary schools for reading days, sponsoring creative writing and poetry contests, donating books to schools, and contributing funds to programs that enhance and expand literacy.
Our Educational Grants: FWF awards monetary grants to qualified organizations in Florida who engage in educational activities and projects compatible with the FWF mission. These organizations may include public or private schools, PTAs, nonprofits, churches, libraries, or other institutions whose projects and activities align with the values and mission of FWF.
FWF will determine the number of grant recipients each year, and the amount of each award, based on current revenues. Grants awarded vary from year to year, and FWF may award a grant in an amount less than that requested.
Eligible Applicants: FWF awards grants only to qualified organizations. Individuals are not eligible for grant awards.
Qualifications & Requirements: FWF takes a variety of factors into account when determining who to award grants to, and the amounts of the awards.
Application Process: Applicants must submit a cover letter, the application form, and the requested documents supporting the application. Additional information is welcomed. Please click on the link at the top of this page to download the grant application.
Applications are accepted year-round. After an application is received, FWF’s Board of Directors will typically review and make a decision at the next scheduled meeting, and notify applicants of the outcome once the meeting minutes have been approved. Occasionally, the Board will request additional information before making a decision.
Reapplying for Grants: Applicants not selected to receive a grant are welcome to reapply. Those selected to receive funds are also welcome to apply for additional grants. Recipients of an award do not automatically receive funds the next time around. Each award is a one-time grant.
Getting the Word Out: The Florida Writers Foundation wants as many organizations as possible to know about FWF grants. Information will be disseminated electronically by email and social media.
Follow-up for Grant Recipients: Representatives of the organization must report back with photographs and event results of the grant-supported program or project. Testimonials are highly valued and will be used for FWF marketing purposes.
