Geography
The latest year shows multi-state giving across eight states, with the foundation based in Florida but funding recipients from CO, MT, NC, WV, PA, WA and others as well.
Recipient Variety
Seventeen distinct recipients received grants in the observed year, spanning universities and multiple animal rescue organizations, indicating a broad recipient set for the foundation's size; long-term patterns are not available.
New Applicants
