Ideal Applicant
A small Florida-based nonprofit delivering life-skills, education, health, or veterans services (including injured law enforcement support) seeking modest project support and able to submit a concise LOI and develop a local introduction.
Good Fit
- • Located in Florida (in-state applicants have dominated recent giving).
- • Programs focused on youth life-skills, education, veterans, or injured law enforcement.
- • Request size consistent with past grants (roughly $4k–$10k).
- • Existing local credibility or an introduction to a trustee/committee member.
- • Ability to submit a short letter of intent and respond to committee questions.
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year was entirely to Florida; the foundation's recent grants are concentrated in a single state.
Recipient Variety
In 2024 the foundation made three grants to three distinct recipients, with two new recipients that year and one recurring grantee across the three-year history; the absolute number of recipients is small but they appear to be independent organizations.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover is limited but two new recipients were funded in 2024; the foundation publicly lists an LOI/contact route yet also states grants are largely preselected, so occasional new entrants are plausible but access appears selective.
