Transformational Change Grant

The Transformational Change Grant is offered by the Parikh Giving Alliance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to supporting ambitious initiatives in healthcare, education, and the arts. The Alliance’s mission focuses on empowering nonprofit organizations that catalyze long-term, systemic improvements in community well-being, especially across Central Florida. The grant aims to support well-established programs with a track record of success in addressing persistent systemic issues in these key sectors. Each year, up to six grants of $10,000 in unrestricted funds are awarded. The allocation is divided evenly across the three focus areas, with two grants each for healthcare, education, and the arts. These grants are intended for larger-scale projects with transformative potential, enabling recipients to make significant, lasting impacts. Eligible projects should demonstrate strong outreach plans and the ability to address the root causes of major social challenges. Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that hold active 501(c)(3) status as recognized by the IRS. Applicants must be in compliance with all relevant state and federal licensing or registration requirements. While the grant is open to organizations across the U.S., priority consideration is given to projects that directly benefit communities in Central Florida. Each organization may apply for multiple grants per cycle but can only receive one grant per cycle. The application process includes detailed questions that solicit information on the organization’s mission, history, program goals, systemic impact, outreach strategies, and budget. Applicants are also required to discuss how their project aligns with the Parikh Giving Alliance's mission and how success will be measured. Supporting documents such as the IRS Determination Letter, organizational bylaws, IRS 990, an annual impact statement, and any other relevant supplemental materials must be uploaded as part of the submission. Applications for the Transformational Change Grant open on January 15, 2025, and close on July 15, 2025, at 5 PM. Finalists are notified via email and are awarded at the Changemakers Breakfast event in August, where they also receive two complimentary passes. An annual impact report must be submitted within 30 days of receiving the follow-up form. For inquiries or issues with the application, applicants are encouraged to contact the Parikh Giving Alliance directly. However, specific contact information such as a direct email or phone number was not provided in the source material and would require follow-up for confirmation.
