Ideal Applicant
A Florida-based nonprofit (especially serving Broward, Palm Beach or Duval counties) focused on youth, families, seniors, housing, education, food security, workforce or mental health with capacity for mid-sized to large grants.
Good Fit
- • Programs located in Broward, Palm Beach or Duval counties or clear impact in Florida
- • Youth development, after-school, affordable housing, senior services, food security, workforce or mental-health programming
- • Organizational capacity to manage grants in the $25K–$500K range or larger
- • Ability to submit an online Letter of Inquiry and demonstrate measurable county-level outcomes
Geography
Observed giving is overwhelmingly state-focused: roughly 98% of dollars flow to Florida and the latest year shows activity concentrated in five states with almost all grant count and dollars in-state.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded 216 distinct recipients across many program areas (youth, seniors, housing, food security, education, mental health), and multi-year data show a large, diverse recipient set despite some recurring grantees.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports new applicants: the foundation posts guidelines, runs an online LOI portal with rolling submissions, and registered 43 new recipients in the latest year (67 in the prior year), so unfamiliar organizations can plausibly enter the portfolio.
