ABOUT THE GRANT
The St. Petersburg MLK Communities in Action Mini-Grant Program provides St. Petersburg, Florida small businesses, nonprofits, and community-based organizations with grants of up to $2,500 each (with up to 20 grants totaling $50,000 distributed per cycle) to fund activities that foster community healing, wellness, and service in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy. Administered by the City of St. Petersburg, the program is an annual grant opportunity that supports community-led initiatives taking place during the MLK Day period each January, with funds disbursed in advance of the project period as long as the applicant submits an approved budget.
Eligible projects must align with one of four focus areas: Arts and Culture Events, Community Support Services, Environmental Activities, or Health and Wellness Activities. Recent award recipients have carried out a wide range of initiatives within these focus areas, from community cleanups and rain garden workshops to free dental days, parenting wellness weekends, intergenerational writing projects, youth STEM mentorship events, and cultural storytelling programs. Projects are expected to promote unity, health, and volunteerism in the spirit of Dr. King’s vision of the “beloved community.”
To qualify, applicants must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, faith-based organization, educational institution, community-based organization, civic group, or small business registered in Florida and located within St. Petersburg city limits.
