Ideal Applicant
A program-focused nonprofit working in health, education, or human services (often project-specific) with a clear link to the foundation’s priorities and either a Florida presence or a credible out-of-state program aligned to those priorities.
Good Fit
- • Project or program support requests in health, education, mental health, or human services.
- • Demonstrable program activity or partnerships in Florida or a strong rationale for out-of-state funding.
- • Capacity to manage mid-size grants (tens of thousands to several hundred thousand dollars).
- • Introductions or referrals from current grantees, advisors, or local partners.
Geography
Observed grants cover multiple states (nine in the latest year) but are noticeably concentrated in Florida, which received about 44% of 2024 dollars.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a large and diverse recipient set (82 distinct recipients in 2024) and substantial annual inflow of new grantees, which indicates broad institutional variety.
New Applicants
Direct behavioral evidence shows many new grantees each year (about 70% new in 2024), so unfamiliar organizations have been added to the portfolio; however the application process is invitation-only on the public portal, so unsolicited entry appears possible but plausibly mediated by referrals or proactive staff outreach.
