Accelerating Changes that Transform Lives

At Parikh Giving Alliance, we are focused on creating meaningful community impact by empowering nonprofits to operate at their most inspired potential. In fulfillment of our mission, we provide essential funding to Central Florida organizations who are making notable contributions to issues related to healthcare, education, and the arts. It is our belief that by creating opportunities for nonprofits to work "better" together, we can accelerate the changes that transform lives. Check out our Grant Making calendar and register to join us for a Collaboration Circle. Stay inspired with our community Impact Center and partner with us to create unique Community Events and Experiences.

Collaboration Circles are virtual inspiration sessions where nonprofit leaders and stakeholders (representing healthcare, education and the arts) come together to share insights and strategies.

Now Accepting Applications: Summer 2025 Grantmaking Window

The Parikh Giving Alliance is proud to announce that our Summer 2025 Grantmaking Window is NOW OPEN! We believe in the power of collaboration—not reinventing the wheel, but amplifying the impact of organizations that already have strong, strategic programs in place. Launched in 2025, our grantmaking initiative is rooted in the belief that community change happens when we come together. Our role is to support nonprofits across Central Florida working in the areas of healthcare, education, and the arts, by funding programs and initiatives that are already making a difference—or are ready to do so.

Earlier this year, during our Spring Grant Window, we awarded grants to nine local organizations working on high-impact projects in the areas of healthcare, education and the arts. We offer four types of grants designed to meet a range of needs. Visit our Grantmaking Portal to explore, the types of grants we offer and the programs and initiatives we prioritize. We offer a simple and straightforward application process (no professional grant writing experience needed). Grants awarded during this cycle will be celebrated at our August Change Makers Breakfast — an invitation-only gathering to honor the organizations shaping our region’s future.

Grant Making

Access to high-quality healthcare, including mental well-being, is fundamental to a thriving community, fostering wellness, prevention, and the capacity to lead fulfilling lives. Prioritizing both physical and mental health empowers individuals to achieve overall well-being, resilience, and a stronger quality of life.

Healthcare

Collaboraton Circle: Health Care

Empowering individuals through quality education equips communities with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to innovate, grow, and overcome challenges. Access to diverse learning opportunities fosters personal development, economic advancement, and social cohesion, laying the foundation for individual success and the well-being of the community.

Education

Collaboraton Circle: Education

The arts enrich our lives, inspire creativity, and bring people together, creating a vibrant and cohesive community culture. By ensuring access to the arts for all ages, we foster imagination and emotional expression. Art inspires personal growth, strengthens social bonds, and drives community engagement, cultivating a deeper appreciation for diverse perspectives.
