Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize nonprofit with a strong local or programmatic connection to the foundation's priorities (youth services, local healthcare, environmental conservation, or education), ideally with an existing relationship or referral into the funder’s network and project budgets in the roughly $1K–$50K range.
Good Fit
- • Organization serves Martin County / Hobe Sound area or projects tied to that community.
- • Programs for children and youth, including afterschool or recreation initiatives.
- • Environmental conservation or Everglades/restoration work related to Florida.
- • Local healthcare or community health services in Martin County or adjacent areas.
- • Established relationship, referral, or prior modest awards from the foundation.
- • Project-scale requests consistent with observed grant sizes (mostly under $50K).
Geography
Grants appear across multiple states (including Florida, California, Minnesota, and DC) but 2024 giving is dominated by Florida, which received about 55% of that year's dollars, indicating a multi-state footprint with a strong local concentration.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows about 16 distinct recipients across several sectors (youth, environment, health, education) and 12 recurring recipients across years, so the portfolio funds many independent organizations even though dollars are concentrated among the top five.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover is limited but four new grantees appeared in 2024 and the foundation does add new recipients occasionally; however the funder states grants are to preselected organizations and there is no public RFP, so entry appears invite- or referral-driven rather than openly competitive.
