The latest donation continues a 50-year history of Disney helping Florida thrive and builds on other recent efforts in 2023 like hosting Disney World’s largest wish-granting event ever, donating $125,000 to support local school districts, creating a new affordable housing development, expanding our commitment to conservation with $500,000 in environmental grants and more. Disney takes immense pride in supporting these initiatives as a company.

Disney cast members personally volunteer their time and effort with many of these organizations across the state through the Disney VoluntEARS program. In the current year alone, Disney cast members have collectively contributed more than 115,000 hours of volunteer service to the place they call home, where they live, work, and play.
