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

  • College access, scholarships and degree completion for low-income students
  • South Florida community services: Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach
  • Workforce and career pathway programs for youth and women
  • Arts access for K-12 students and underserved audiences
  • Health access and mental health services, including Bridgeport CT
  • Disaster relief for Florida hurricane-affected communities

Typical grant

Median grant is $200,000, with the middle half between $100,000 and roughly $490,000. The seven-figure checks go to community foundations and large intermediaries running pooled or multi-year initiatives (Community Foundation of Broward, Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties, Broward College Foundation, Miami Foundation), while $100,000 to $500,000 covers direct-service nonprofits and single programs. With 578 grants to 201 recipients across three years, most grantees are funded repeatedly, and several awards are explicitly multi-year (one Miami Foundation grant runs 2023-2028).

Their words

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

  • expanding access to the arts
  • college completion
  • capacity building
  • underserved
  • economic mobility
  • closing equity gaps

Positioning adjacent work

  • Tie work to postsecondary degree attainment or college completion for first-generation and low-income students.
  • Ask $250,000 to $500,000 for a defined program; reserve seven figures for multi-partner or countywide initiatives.
  • Name the county. Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach dominate; Bridgeport and New Haven CT are the secondary base.
  • Frame research as capacity building or data infrastructure, as with Education Design Lab's Data Collaborative.

Worth knowing: This is a South Florida funder above all: 467 of 578 grants went to Florida organizations, with a persistent Connecticut thread in Bridgeport and New Haven from the founder's Subway roots. University money goes to applied student-success work (USF, Georgia State, ASU) rather than basic research, and named vehicles like the DeLuca Center for Nonprofit Excellence and the DeLuca Micro-Internship Program signal long relationships rather than open competition.
