Geography
Observed grants span 31 states but about 76% of grant dollars stayed in Florida; the footprint is mostly state‑focused with some out‑of‑state awards.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows over 540 distinct recipients (562 grants), and top recipients together capture a modest share of dollars, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set.
New Applicants
Behaviorally the funder added about 207 new recipients in the latest year (roughly 38%), so unfamiliar organizations do enter the portfolio; however, no formal application guidelines are posted, so entry likely happens via program contacts, partnerships or referrals.
