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

  • Jacksonville and Northeast Florida human services, homelessness, housing repair
  • Local arts, museums, symphony, historic preservation and public media
  • Education: Jacksonville Classical Academy capital, UNF, Jacksonville University
  • Health and hospice, pediatric care, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville expansion
  • Reentry, gun violence intervention, women's crisis and domestic violence services
  • Conservation and environment: coral reefs, state parks, rivers, regenerative farming

Typical grant

Median grant is $10,000 with the middle half between $2,655 and $25,000, so most of the 5,270 grants are modest donor-advised distributions. The seven-figure checks go to Jacksonville anchor institutions (Sulzbacher Center, Jacksonville Symphony, UNF Foundation, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville) and to named legacy or family funds. Repeat giving is common, with organizations like Jacksonville Classical Academy, Jacksonville Historic Naval Ship Association, and Community Hospice appearing multiple times in a single year.

Their words

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

  • FOR GENERAL OPERATING SUPPORT
  • FOR GENERAL PROGRAM SUPPORT
  • TO SUPPORT AREAS OF GREATEST NEED
  • CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
  • A 1:1 CHALLENGE GRANT

Positioning adjacent work

  • Tie the work to Duval, Clay, Nassau, Baker or St. Johns counties by name; 4,359 of 5,270 grants went to Florida.
  • Ask in the $25,000 to $250,000 band unless you are an established Jacksonville institution with a capital campaign.
  • Offer a 1:1 challenge structure; they fund challenge grants and phased capital projects explicitly.
  • Frame research as service delivery or a local hub, as with Jacksonville University's Women's Health Innovation Network.

Worth knowing: This is a community foundation, so much of the giving is donor-advised and relationship-driven, including large pass-throughs like the $3.1 million to Vanguard Charitable and multiple David Stein legacy gifts. Out-of-state grants almost always carry a Jacksonville or Florida restriction, so national organizations should lead with a Northeast Florida program.
