Disney Announces $1.5 Million Donation to 19 Nonprofit Organizations in Florida
The Walt Disney World Resort recently announced that the company will be giving new donations totaling $1.5 million to 19 nonprofit organizations creating positive change in the state of Florida.
All of the Disney Grant recipients are doing amazing work for the community – from establishing strong education and workforce development programs, to supporting the arts, combatting homelessness and hunger, and more. Cast Members also spend time personally volunteering with many of these organizations and others across the state through our Disney VoluntEARS program. So far this year, cast have spent more than 115,000 hours giving back to the place where they live, work, and play!
This latest investment will help each organization as they continue making big differences in the lives of many Floridians and their families. It’s also another step forward in the company's more than 50-year history of helping Florida thrive and builds on other recent efforts in 2023 like hosting Walt Disney World’s largest wish-granting event ever, donating $125,000 to support local school districts, creating a new affordable housing development, expanding Disney's commitment to conservation with $500,000 in environmental grants, and more.
