Ideal Applicant
A registered nonprofit proposing mid-sized program or project support aligned with the foundation’s observed interests (conservation, community services, health/education), comfortable engaging via an offline application route.
Good Fit
- • Proposals for conservation, sustainability, or environmental education.
- • Community service or food-security programs located in Florida or elsewhere in the U.S.
- • Requests for project or program support in the $10k–$250k range.
- • One-time capital or project funding (e.g., dormitory, solar phase) or targeted scholarship/support funds.
- • Willingness to follow offline application instructions (mailed inquiry and phone follow-up).
Geography
Observed grants span 15 states in the latest year, with major shares to multiple states and only about 23% of dollars staying in Florida, indicating a multi-state/national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 52 distinct recipients with a broad mix of missions (environment, health, education, community) and only modest concentration at the top, which indicates a wide and diverse recipient set for the foundation’s size.
New Applicants
Direct turnover evidence exists: about 39 new grantees in the latest year (roughly 75% new) and the funder also publishes offline application instructions, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
