Ideal Applicant
A mid-sized, established nonprofit working in health, education, or community services—especially in Florida or nearby states—with capacity to absorb mid-size awards and connections to regional philanthropic networks or nominating intermediaries.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on healthcare, education, food security or community services.
- • Operating presence or demonstrable impact in Florida (or New Jersey/other states the foundation has funded).
- • Ability to manage mid-size grants (many awards in the $10k–$250k range, median around $25k in the latest year).
- • Existing relationships with local philanthropic intermediaries, hospital/university development offices, or past grantees.
- • General operating or broadly charitable program requests rather than highly niche pilot projects.
Geography
Observed grants span 20 states and include national recipients, though funding is concentrated in Florida (about 54% of dollars in the latest year). The footprint is multi-state rather than purely local.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funds many distinct independent recipients each year (49 distinct recipients in the latest year) with high turnover (37 new grantees in 2024), and beneficiaries include hospitals, schools, universities and community organizations rather than a single affiliated set.
New Applicants
Behavioral data show substantial new-grantee turnover (many new recipients each year), which indicates the portfolio is refreshed, but the foundation self-identifies as funding only preselected applicants and has no public website or clear submission contacts, so unsolicited applicants face limited direct routes in practice.
