Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize nonprofit with clear programs in education, health, social services, cultural development, disaster relief, or animal welfare — ideally with a Miami/Florida connection or demonstrable local impact.
Good Fit
- • Programs serving Miami-Dade or other Florida communities.
- • Project-based requests in education, health, social services, culture, or animal welfare.
- • Request sizes in the neighborhood of $5K–$25K and a concise written proposal.
- • Ability to document local impact and community partnerships.
- • Willingness to follow the foundation's written-request process and provide required paperwork.
Geography
Giving is geographically concentrated: in 2024 roughly three quarters of dollars supported Florida organizations, though grants also touched six other states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows broad recipient variety: 31 grants to 30 distinct organizations across many purposes (education, health, social services, culture, animal welfare), with a substantial number of different grantees.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness is strong: the foundation maintains a public website and explicit written-request instructions with a rolling process, and 19 new recipients appeared in 2024 (about 63% of grantees that year), indicating newcomers can and do enter the portfolio.
