Ideal Applicant
Established Tampa/Florida nonprofits with local ties—scholarship funds, universities/colleges, cultural institutions, community foundations, or community service groups—seeking modest to mid-sized one‑time grants or donor‑advised/conduit support.
Good Fit
- • Located in Tampa or elsewhere in Florida.
- • Works on scholarships, higher education, cultural heritage, or local community services.
- • Has an existing relationship or can be introduced through the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay or other local intermediaries.
- • Asks for grant sizes in the typical local range ($1K–$30K).
- • Can be considered or recommended (preselected) by a local advisor or intermediary.
Geography
Giving is geographically narrow and focused on Florida and the Tampa metro; in the most recent years virtually all dollars went to in‑state recipients and grants are concentrated locally.
Recipient Variety
Across three observed years the foundation funded roughly a dozen distinct recipients in the latest year (and between 11–19 grants annually), spanning universities, museums, churches, food banks and scholarship funds; for a micro private foundation this shows a moderate breadth of independent recipients despite dollar concentration in a few top grantees.
New Applicants
Observed behavior shows substantial turnover (e.g., 10 new recipients in 2024 and 7 new in 2023), suggesting new organizations have entered the portfolio; however the foundation formally declares it funds only preselected recipients and has no public website, so whether an unfamiliar applicant can reliably gain access without a local introduction is unclear.
