Ideal Applicant
A local 501(c)(3) serving Citrus County, FL that addresses community needs (housing, food, youth services, faith-based programs, or service-club projects) seeking modest grants.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in or serves Citrus County, Florida.
- • Work addresses local needs such as housing, homelessness, youth programs, food security, or church/community ministries.
- • Asks are in the small-to-midsize range (roughly $2K–$25K).
- • Can submit a concise letter of consideration by the stated May 1 deadline.
- • Has clear evidence of local impact or partnerships with service clubs or United Way.
Geography
Observed grants are geographically narrow: every reported grant across the three-year record went to organizations in Florida, concentrated in Citrus County and nearby towns.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded many independent local organizations in the latest year (19 distinct recipients in 2023) and across three years, with a mix of churches, service clubs, housing groups and community nonprofits rather than a single dominated beneficiary.
New Applicants
Behavior shows turnover and entry for outsiders (eight new recipients in 2023 and returning grantees as well), and the filings include an explicit submission route and deadline, so unfamiliar local 501(c)(3)s have a plausible path to be considered.
