PARTNER IN RAISING & GRANTING

The Foundation is a partner in both raising and granting funds for the programs, projects, and equipment highlighted below. As a funding partner, the Foundation considers the overall budget and the percentage of funds being requested of the Foundation compared to the funds provided from other public and private sources. We seek to maximize our impact by leveraging partnerships.

Park Impact Grants

The Florida State Parks Foundation is proud to offer park impact grants (formerly known as CSO Small Grants) to our CSO members, as well as parks that do not have a CSO. In 2025, the Foundation awarded 5 grants of $10,000 each for a total reward amount of $50,000 to support accessibility, resource restoration and park maintenance. The list of the 2025 grant recipients includes Friends of St. Joseph State Parks, Inc., Friends of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Farm, Inc., Friends of Tomoka Basin State Parks, Dade Battlefield Society, and Friends of Savannas Preserve.

Access For All

The Foundation supports the Florida Park Service’s commitment to providing inclusive experiences to every park visitor. Many innovative advances have been made that allow people with disabilities unprecedented access to the outdoors: all-terrain power wheelchairs able to handle deep sand or rugged trails; accessible kayak launches; roll out matting that transforms sandy beaches into stable easily traversed paths; and more. Access for All grants can be requested to provide funding for accessibility projects, equipment and services.
