Support the work
Help keep the work moving.
Your support helps turn Central Florida’s hospitality knowledge, relationships, and entrepreneurial talent into research, access, and connections more people can use.
Support with purpose
Your contribution creates room for useful things to happen.
The Proxenia Foundation connects hospitality experience with entrepreneurship, education, research, and community participation across Central Florida.
General contributions help sustain that work as it happens — from research and industry conversations to founder access and educational opportunity.
You can support the work with a one-time contribution, create dependable support through monthly giving, or make a larger early commitment as a Founding Steward.
