PHOENIX FOUNDATION OF CENTRAL FLORIDA, INC.
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA

The mission of the Phoenix Foundation of Central Florida is to afford young people the opportunity to recreate themselves while pursuing their educational goals. As knowledge is the key to changing society, the Phoenix Foundation provides funds to enhance and supplement education. The Foundation was established in 2012 by Patrick Tubbs, a man with deep roots in Central Florida. He grew up in Brevard County, attended public schools on Merritt Island, and graduated from the University of Central Florida. Patrick believes in the transformative power of education and has seen first-hand how furthering one’s education can dramatically change a person’s life. To that end, he initially established the Phoenix Foundation of Central Florida as a scholarship granting foundation in an effort to reach out and offer a helping hand to students who otherwise may not be able to improve and restart their lives. As of 2017, the foundation has awarded in excess of $500,000 and over 120 scholarships. . This is two fold in its purpose. Morning Glow will provide approximately $100,000 per year in teacher grants to Brevard Public School educators working directly in music and theater disciplines. The mission of Phoenix Foundation Morning Glow is to provide much needed funds to supplement the current budget for enhancement to Brevard Public School music and theatre teachers. These grants will be awarded bi-annually in April and November. Teachers may apply for up to $25,000 per application.
