Parker Irma & Orville Ch Tr Ta
The Irma J. and Orville Parker Foundation (established 2003) is a private foundation managed via Truist’s managed funds site. The foundation focuses funding on organizations (primarily in Lake County, Florida) such as Northern Michigan Hospital Foundation, Salvation Army, American Red Cross and Boy Scouts, and typical grants range from about $2,500–$10,000. Trustees meet annually (December) and the application deadline is November 1st; an online application portal is provided on the Truist site.

Ideal Applicant
A Florida-based community or human-services nonprofit seeking general operating support, especially organizations with a local track record or an existing connection to the Truist-managed fund or its grantee network.
Good Fit
- • Located in Lake County or elsewhere in Florida
- • Seeks general operating or modest program support ($2.5k–$10k typical)
- • Has an existing relationship or prior history with local trustees, the Truist-managed fund, or current grantees
- • Provides community, youth, health, or disability services similar to past recipients
Geography
Observed giving is concentrated in one state (about 85% of dollars to Florida) with a small number of out-of-state grants, so the footprint is state-level rather than national.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 11 distinct independent grantees across multiple service areas, but a high rate of repeat recipients across the three-year record indicates a moderately broad but stable roster rather than rapidly changing breadth.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows the fund declares an invitation-only/preselected policy and only one new grantee was added in the most recent year; combined with a high returning-recipient rate across three years, this suggests unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio without nomination or relationship.
