Ideal Applicant

A small veterans-service, scholarship, or local disaster-relief program primarily operating in Florida seeking modest, project-specific support.

Good Fit

  • Programs serving veterans or veterans' families
  • Disaster or hurricane relief projects in Florida
  • Requests for modest one-time awards (roughly $1K–$5K)
  • Formal or informal connection to AMVETS posts or the Florida department

Geography

Restrictive

Observed giving is highly localized: in 2024 about 96% of dollars and grants went to recipients in Florida, with only a small out-of-state trace to North Carolina.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The latest year shows a broad recipient set — 27 distinct grantees funded in 2024 with many small awards — which indicates substantial variety for a micro private foundation despite earlier years showing different patterns.

New Applicants

Broad

Direct evidence of new entrants exists: all 27 recipients in 2024 were new in the observed window, and the foundation posts application/scholarship PDFs and contact details on its website; although some awards are described as preselected, the observed grantee turnover and public materials make entry by unfamiliar applicants plausible.
