Ideal Applicant
Mid‑sized charities or programmatic projects seeking single‑project or operating support in education, community services, animal welfare, health, or faith‑based/Catholic causes that can submit a concise written statement by mail or phone contact.
Good Fit
- • Project or program funding requests aligned with education, scholarships, community support, animal rescue, or faith‑based services.
- • Ability to submit a short written statement and supporting budget by mail or phone contact.
- • Organizations with a Florida presence or demonstrated work in Florida (but multi‑state projects have been funded).
- • Modest to medium one‑time requests consistent with many small grants and occasional larger gifts.
Geography
Grants were distributed to roughly 30 states in the latest year, showing a multi‑state footprint, although a majority (about 56% of dollars) were directed to Florida.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 168 distinct recipients across many mission areas and purposes, with a large number of new recipients and only a modest share of dollars concentrated in the top five grantees.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness is strong: the latest year included 137 new recipients (an elevated new‑recipient share), and the foundation explicitly accepts applications at any time via a named contact and written statement, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
