Ideal Applicant
A known, often in-state nonprofit or institution working on homeless prevention or related human services in Florida, or an organization already connected to the foundation’s network.
Good Fit
- • Provides homeless prevention or other human services in Florida.
- • Has an existing relationship or introduction to the foundation leadership.
- • Can accept general operating support from a private foundation.
- • Is an established nonprofit or educational institution (churches, schools, hospitals, universities).
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in the foundation’s home state: in 2023 about 87% of dollars went to Florida and in 2022 about 99% did, though a handful of out-of-state grantees appear. The footprint is effectively state-focused rather than national.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 8 distinct recipients in 2023 and 14 in 2022, indicating a modestly broad set of independent grantees for a small private foundation, but dollar concentration is high with one dominant beneficiary receiving the bulk of funds.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates it funds only preselected organizations and no public application route or contact method was found; although six new recipients were added in 2023, that turnover appears to reflect invitation or relationship-based selection rather than an open application process.
