Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

  • Human services in Sarasota, Manatee, DeSoto, Charlotte counties
  • K-12 education: Sarasota County school board, individual elementary schools, scholarships
  • Sarasota arts and culture: orchestra, ballet, opera, theatre companies
  • Mental health, crisis intervention, and healthcare access locally
  • Transfers to other charitable funds and community foundations
  • Environment and marine science: Selby Gardens, Mote Marine Laboratory

Typical grant

Median grant is $18,029, with the middle half between $10,000 and $43,625, so most of the 2,687 grants on file are small checks under $50,000. The very large awards go to a handful of anchor local human services and civic institutions (SPARCC at $2.5M, Glasser-Schoenbaum Human Services Center at $2.25M, Selby Botanical Gardens at $1.37M, School Board of Sarasota County at $1.23M) plus fund-to-fund transfers such as $4.1M to Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund. With 2,687 grants spread across 1,294 recipients in four years, repeat giving is the norm rather than the exception.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

  • HUMAN SERVICES
  • PHILANTHROPY, VOLUNTARISM, AND GRANTMAKING FOUNDATIONS
  • MENTAL HEALTH, CRISIS INTERVENTION
  • PUBLIC SAFETY, DISASTER PREPAREDNESS, AND RELIEF
  • ARTS, CULTURE & HUMANITIES

Positioning adjacent work

  • Anchor the work in Sarasota, Manatee, DeSoto or Charlotte county service delivery, not statewide or national scope.
  • Size a first ask at $15,000 to $45,000; that matches the middle half of their record.
  • Connect research to their applied science grantees: Mote Marine Laboratory, Selby Gardens, Simmaron Research.
  • Frame education work through Sarasota County schools, Take Stock in Children, or Early Learning Coalition partnerships.

Worth knowing: This is a community foundation whose giving runs largely through donor-advised funds, so most checks reflect individual fundholder choices rather than a central strategy; the out-of-state grants to New York, Massachusetts, California and DC recipients look like donor pass-throughs, and the single largest line item is a $4.1M transfer to Fidelity Charitable. Roughly four out of five grants stay in Florida and the money concentrates on established Sarasota-area institutions that appear year after year, so a local partner or an existing fundholder relationship matters more than a strong proposal on its own.
