The mission of Phoenix Foundation Morning Glow is to provide much needed funds to supplement and enhance performing arts programs. Our goal is that every student will have the means to study and grow from exposure to the performing arts.
Now in Orange County and Seminole County
Through our Morning Glow program, we are committed to providing up to $100,000 per year in grants to music, dance, and theater teachers. We partnered with Orange County, Florida in 2023 and have started with Seminole County, Florida in 2026. These grants are awarded biannually and may be used to supplement curriculum, purchase uniforms, provide construction materials, or anything else teachers in these departments see as a need to help their students. Funds may not be used for the teacher’s continuing education or consumable materials- see FAQ for further details.
We are proud to have brought a summer theatre program to Orange County in 2026 and hope to continue this mission of providing a free and inclusive theatre experience by bringing the program to Seminole County in 2027.
Morning Glow was previously partnered with Brevard Public Schools from 2017 to 2022 for teacher grants and to reinstate the Summer Fine Arts Theatre Workshop, which was fully funded from 2018 through 2025.
