Ideal Applicant

Local or regional nonprofits (particularly in Florida) that provide human services, health, education, faith-based, or food-security work and that can be presented via an existing relationship or nomination for general operating support.

Good Fit

  • Located in Florida or one of the other states the funder has supported.
  • Mission aligns with general-use support (human services, health charities, education, faith-based, or food-security).
  • Has an existing connection or endorsement from a past grantee, local leader, or intermediary.
  • Seeks modest unrestricted or program support in the foundation's typical range (hundreds to low tens of thousands).

Geography

Moderate

Giving is concentrated in Florida (about 67% of 2024 dollars) but the latest year also funded organizations in three other states; historically the foundation funded recipients in many more states (44 distinct recipients in 2022).

Recipient Variety

Moderate

The observed portfolio includes many distinct recipients across years (44 recipients in 2022; 11 in 2024) and a mix of small and mid-sized grants, but 2024 shows high dollar concentration with the top five recipients receiving 97% of that year's dollars.

New Applicants

Restrictive

The foundation explicitly indicates it only funds preselected recipients and no public intake route or contact details were found; although five new grantees appeared in 2024, the declared preselection policy and lack of visible application channels make it unlikely an unfamiliar applicant can readily enter the portfolio.
