Ideal Applicant
Local or regional nonprofits (especially in South Florida) seeking general operating support in health, education, human services, youth or cultural services.
Good Fit
- • Organization serves Broward County / South Florida or has visible local impact in Florida.
- • Requests are for general support or modest program funding (typical award sizes under $10K).
- • Established local reputation or referrals from local nonprofits, community leaders, or intermediaries.
- • Track record of serving children, health, human services, education, or cultural institutions.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Florida (about 90% of dollars) though a handful of grants appear in four other states; the observed footprint is effectively local/regional with most funds flowing to South Florida.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 31 distinct grantees with 28 newcomers that year, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation’s size; financial concentration is modest (top five ≈30%).
New Applicants
Behavioral data show many new grantees in the latest year (28 new recipients), which suggests the foundation does add new partners, but the funder publicly marks its process as preselection-only and no public submission route or contact details were found, so open application access cannot be confirmed.
