Ideal Applicant
A Florida-based, child-focused nonprofit with local visibility or an existing relationship or nomination by a trusted intermediary.
Good Fit
- • Mission focused on services for children or youth development.
- • Organizational presence or program delivery in Florida, especially Miami-area communities.
- • Existing relationship, board or advisor nomination, or visibility to local philanthropic networks.
- • Capacity to manage a single larger grant (e.g., $50K) or multiple smaller awards in prior years.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Florida; the latest year shows the single grant was to a Miami organization and the foundation's in-state share is 100% in the latest filing.
Recipient Variety
Across observed years the foundation has funded many distinct child-focused recipients (12 in 2021 and 11 in 2023), but the most recent year shows only one recipient, so the overall recipient set is moderate rather than broadly distributed.
New Applicants
The foundation's filings state grants are only to preselected recipients and the default application entry is 'only preselected'; combined with no visible public submission path, this suggests unsolicited new applicants are unlikely to be accepted despite historical turnover in earlier years.
