Ideal Applicant
A registered 501(c)(3) with a track record in education, health, youth development or local community work—preferably based in Florida and able to demonstrate local impact and established relationships.
Good Fit
- • Located and operating programs in Florida (most giving is state-concentrated).
- • Clear alignment with past funded areas such as education, health, youth services, or arts.
- • Operational history and measurable outcomes that match prior grantees (universities, hospitals, youth nonprofits).
- • Existing relationships or introductions to the foundation leadership or current grantees.
- • Capacity to accept mid-sized awards (many grants in the $10k–$250k range).
Geography
Giving is concentrated in Florida (about 76% of dollars and roughly 90% of grant count in the latest year) though a few grants go to other states; the footprint is effectively state-level with limited out-of-state activity.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 41 distinct recipients with a mix of hospitals, universities, youth and arts organizations, and across three years there is substantial repeat funding plus regular new recipients, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows new entrants each year (about eight new grantees in the latest year), but the foundation's public materials also state that new organizational applications are by invitation only, so observed turnover suggests some openness but access appears relationship-driven.
