Ideal Applicant
Small local charities or faith-based organizations (especially Florida-based churches or community nonprofits) seeking modest gifts for capital campaigns, events, or general support.
Good Fit
- • Local presence or operating programs in Florida
- • Faith-based or church-affiliated projects, especially capital campaigns or fundraising events
- • Requests in the small-grant range (roughly $1k–$5k)
- • An existing relationship, referral, or introduction to a named officer or trustee
Geography
Observed grants concentrate heavily in Florida across the three-year record, with a small out-of-state allocation to New York; most dollars flow to FL recipients.
Recipient Variety
Across three years the foundation funded a small set of independent charities (roughly five distinct organizations overall), so the recipient pool is limited but not a single captive beneficiary.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates grants are by preselection and the default application is invitation-only; while occasional new grantees appear over the observed years, the behavior and stated process suggest entry is largely relationship- or invitation-driven.
