The John Murray And Eleanor M Stritter
This organization is a private foundation dedicated to supporting a variety of causes, particularly in the areas of religious and faith-based initiatives, human services, education, and health charities. Its mission reflects a commitment to providing general and unrestricted funding to organizations that align with these values. The foundation supports a range of recipients, including educational institutions, food assistance programs, and health-related charities, indicating a broad focus on community welfare and support for vulnerable populations. While it operates primarily as a national funder, its grantmaking shows a notable emphasis on organizations located in Florida and other states.

Ideal Applicant
A small-to-medium nonprofit (often faith-based, education, health, or human services) with an existing relationship or a clear referral pathway, seeking modest unrestricted operating support, especially if active in Florida or states already funded.
Good Fit
- • Has an established relationship with the foundation, a board member, or a mutual referee.
- • Works in faith-based programs, human services, education, or child/health charities similar to prior grantees.
- • Is located or active in Florida or one of the several states the funder has supported.
- • Requests modest general operating support rather than large project budgets.
Geography
In the latest year grants went to organizations in seven different states, and across years the foundation supported recipients in multiple states with a strong concentration toward Florida (about 38% of dollar volume).
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 13 distinct recipients in the latest year and between 13–16 annually across the observed period, showing a moderate breadth of independent grantees even though most are repeat recipients.
New Applicants
The fund explicitly reports it only awards to preselected organizations and the observed history shows very few new entrants (one new recipient in the latest year and only minimal turnover), so unfamiliar applicants appear unlikely to enter the portfolio without a relationship or referral.
