Non-profit application for FY26-27 Charitable Support Program

Experience Kissimmee, Osceola County’s official tourism authority, will begin accepting applications this summer from local non-profits interested in becoming its annual charitable recipient for FY 26-27. 

Thanks to the collective support of Experience Kissimmee and our valued industry partners, the Kissimmee Golf Classic generated $28,691.26 in cash donations benefiting the Healthy Start Coalition of Osceola County, our Charitable Partner of the Year. Combined with additional fundraising initiatives throughout the year, more than $37,000 in funds and in-kind contributions were raised for their benefit. 

 
To be eligible for charitable support, a non-profit must:
  • Be based in Central Florida with services and funding benefiting the Osceola County community.
  • Have no political or religious affiliation.
  • Be an established 501(c)(3) for more than 3 years.
  • Have not been a recipient within the last 5 years.
  • Be able to present to the selection committee on September 23, 2026.

 

The application period for 2026-2027 Charitable Support Program is from June 1st, 2026 to July 1st, 2026.
