Ideal Applicant
Established nonprofits working in education, health (including cancer and heart health), or humanitarian/social services, especially organizations with a Florida presence or an existing referral/relationship.
Good Fit
- • Local or operational presence in Florida or demonstrated work with Florida communities.
- • Programs in education, cancer/health care, or humanitarian aid and services for the needy.
- • Ability to receive modest grants (typical awards are in the $1K–$50K range).
- • Existing relationship, referral, or prior contact with the foundation leadership.
- • Willingness to follow an offline application process (requesting and mailing a formal application).
Geography
Giving in the latest year reached recipients in 15 states, showing a multi-state footprint, though nearly half of the dollars were concentrated in Florida.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 29 distinct recipients across varied charitable purposes and, across four years, the foundation has supported many independent organizations rather than a single beneficiary.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows new entrants (six new recipients in the latest year) but the foundation indicates applicants are 'only preselected' and requires requesting a formal mailed application, so unsolicited access is possible but limited and relationship-influenced.
