Ideal Applicant
Nonprofits running aviation/STEM education or community partnership programs, especially those offering clear partnership opportunities with corporate volunteers or aligning with diversity, equity, and inclusion goals.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on aviation, STEM education, or K–12 partnerships.
- • Clear opportunities for employee engagement or volunteer partnership with Embraer.
- • Requests sized to the foundation's typical grants (roughly $500–$50,000, median about $5,730).
- • Project proposals with measurable educational outcomes and community partnership elements.
- • Located in Florida or another state where the foundation has previously funded, with evidence of program scalability.
Geography
The latest year shows grants to organizations in 12 states; while 38% of dollars stayed in Florida, the majority (62%) went out of state, indicating a multi-state footprint rather than purely local giving.
Recipient Variety
In the most recent year the foundation made 41 grants to 37 distinct recipients across multiple program types (educational partnerships, aviation, DEI, disaster relief and volunteer mini-grants); concentration exists but does not imply a very narrow recipient set.
New Applicants
The foundation publishes program guidelines, an online application portal, a stated deadline, and contact routes, and does not mark its grants as preselected; direct evidence of multi-year turnover is unavailable so this conclusion is based on visible public application mechanics.
