Ideal Applicant
Small to mid‑sized local nonprofits (often faith‑based, community service, arts, or human‑services groups) seeking modest operating support, especially organizations connected to the Vero Beach / Indian River County community.
Good Fit
- • Located in or serving Vero Beach / Indian River County or otherwise connected to the foundation's known grantee network
- • Request is for operating support or small program funding under $10K
- • Organizational mission aligns with community service, faith‑based activities, local arts, or small human‑services programs
- • Has an introduction or referral from a current or past grantee or a local intermediary
- • Can demonstrate efficient, local impact and modest budgeting
Geography
In the latest year grants appear in five states but are concentrated in Florida (about 61% of dollars), with most activity centered around Vero Beach; the footprint is multi‑state but geographically weighted toward one community.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 24 distinct recipients spanning churches, community service groups, arts, environmental and health organizations; while dollars are somewhat concentrated among a few grantees, the number and types of independent recipients are broad for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows new grantees were funded (11 new recipients in the latest year and prior-year new entrants), which indicates the foundation does add unfamiliar organizations, but public materials state funding is by preselection only and no public application route is visible, so open access is limited in practice.
