Ideal Applicant
A Florida-based or South-Florida-serving 501(c)(3) with capacity for large institutional gifts—especially hospitals, university research centers, autism programs, military-family support, or youth STEM/music initiatives.
Good Fit
- • Organizational presence or programs serving South Florida/Florida communities
- • Capital campaign, medical center, or research funding need at the scale of hundreds of thousands to multiple millions
- • Established institutional fiscal capacity (university, hospital foundation, credible national charity)
- • 501(c)(3) status with no familial/board relationship to the foundation
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Florida with 94% of 2024 dollars directed in-state; small out-of-state gifts appear but are minor.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 8 distinct recipients across health, autism, military-family support, police assistance, music and youth coding, but funding is financially concentrated (top five received 86% of dollars).
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows 5 new recipients in 2024 and the foundation publishes rolling instructions and a named contact, but selection appears selective with large recurring institutional gifts, so new entrants are plausible but likely vetted.
