Charitable Donation Program

Each year, the Town Council sets aside an amount of money to donate to local Jupiter non-profit organizations that provide programs and services to Town residents not offered by the local government. This amount is budgeted at $50,000 for 2026, but it may vary from year to year.

Organizations that apply for funding will be evaluated based on:

  • Status as a registered local non-profit (501(c)(3)
  • The number of Jupiter residents directly served by the programs and services identified
  • The proposed use(s) of the funding
  • The value provided to the Jupiter community

Applications for the Charitable Donation Program will open in January of each year. Completed applications are due by March 1. Consideration of funding requests by the Town Council typically takes place at a regular Council meeting shortly thereafter. Funding is dispersed within two weeks of approval. Typically, the donations range from $500 to $5000 each.

Organizations submitting requests for funding are required to provide proof of non-profit status (501(c)(3) designation). Organizations that have current Town of Jupiter staff serving as Officers or Board Members are not eligible for funding.
