About the Glazer Family Foundation Grants:

The Glazer Family Foundation reaches at risk children and families in the Central Florida region through  the biannual grant program. Grants are awarded to nonprofits to fund programs serving disadvantaged children and their families. This grant process highlights the needs of the community and allows the Foundation to partner with organizations that focus on the welfare of underserved youth and families. Beginning in 2000 the Glazer Family Foundation has awarded over $500,000 to nonprofits that create places for children and families to grow and thrive. Twice a year when the grants are awarded, grantees meet to network and discuss the programs and initiatives the funds will be used for. These sessions encourage nonprofits to work together for stronger communities.
