FLOF & YOF

About FLOF

The Florida Opportunity Fund (FLOF) is a grant for service projects available only in the Florida District of Key Club International. FLOF can give clubs up to 2/3 the money necessary for service projects; however, schools must provide 1/3 of the amount they wish to receive. The amount of money you can get ranges from $100 to $1,000. Your club must be in good standing, meaning they have submitted most Pride Reports on time, completed the OIF, paid dues, and are active in service projects and divisional/district events.

Success Stories

		Meals of Hope – Divisions 18 and 19 In this project, 177 Kiwanis Family members got together to pack meals for the hungry and homeless population in their area. The project which tied into the Governor’s Project at the time was done through an organization called Meals of Hope. At the end of the project, more than 38,000 meals had been put together.
		CHOW NOW (Children Hungry on Wheels, Not on Our Watch) – Bradenton Christian School This project NOW provides non-perishable foods for homeless children during the weekends. The BCS Key Club was able to expand the CHOW NOW project. They now feed twenty homeless children weekly, and the program is growing.
		Habitat for Humanity Build – Jesuit High School The Habitat for Humanity Build was a project in which members of Jesuit’s Key Club helped set the foundation for a building, raise the walls, and secure the walls, all in one day.
		Senior Prom – Trinity Preparatory School This Senior Prom project gave senior citizens another chance to have the full prom experience again: having a date, dancing with friends, interacting with people in a happy setting, and taking pictures. Each senior received a small flower to take home with them as a reminder of their fun night.
