Good Fit
- • Programs serving Miami-Dade or the broader South Florida region

Geography
Latest reported grants went to recipients in 53 states/territories, indicating national reach, but a clear in-state concentration remains with about 56% of dollars directed to Florida.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded roughly 1,043 distinct recipients in the latest year with a large number of independent grantees and a mix of returning and new organizations, showing a broad and diverse recipient portfolio.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows about 456 new recipients in 2024 (roughly 44% new), which indicates unfamiliar applicants do enter the portfolio; however, no formal public application guidelines were found so new entrants likely access funding via program cycles, outreach, or donor-directed pathways.
