Ideal Applicant
A small local Florida nonprofit (often faith-based or community-service focused) with an existing local presence or referral connection, seeking modest operating or program support.
Good Fit
- • Located in the foundation's primary service area in Florida (Polk County / Bartow / Winter Haven / Lakeland region).
- • Programs are community outreach, church-based services, elder support, housing, animal sheltering, disaster relief, or health-related charities.
- • Comfort with modest one-time or annual grants in the $2K–$15K range.
- • An existing relationship, referral, or prior connection to the trustees or current grantees.
- • Demonstrated local impact and alignment with community-focused grant purposes.
Geography
Giving is tightly focused in Florida (about 93% of dollars) with only a small out-of-state share to New York; the observed footprint is essentially local/regional.
Recipient Variety
Each observed year lists 14 distinct, independent grantees across sectors (churches, health charities, housing, elder services, animal welfare), so the portfolio funds multiple organizations, but the same set repeats annually and the top five consume roughly 60% of dollars.
New Applicants
Over three years the foundation repeated the same 14 grantees with zero new recipients observed, and filings/state that grants are only to preselected organizations, so unfamiliar applicants appear unlikely to enter the portfolio without an introduction.
