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

Community behavioral health provider contracts across the DCF Suncoast Region
Substance abuse treatment and detox at large regional agencies
Mental health crisis, inpatient and outpatient services, Tampa Bay area
School-based behavioral health in Hillsborough and Pasco county schools
County BOCC substance abuse programs and drug-free coalitions
Peer recovery, clubhouse and NAMI affiliate supports

Typical grant

Median award is $555,172, with the middle half between $132,287 and $3.87 million. The very large checks, $13 million to $33 million, go to a dozen full-service regional providers such as BayCare Behavioral Health, Centerstone of Florida, Gracepoint and Operation PAR; the small ones, from $5,000 to about $250,000, go to county coalitions, school-based counseling vendors and single-county NAMI chapters. Giving repeats almost identically year over year, with the same top names in the same order across 2021 through 2024.

Their words

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

“SUBSTANCE ABUSE/MENTAL HEALTH DCF SUNCOAST REGION”
“MENTAL HEALTH DCF SUNCOAST REGION”
“SUBSTANCE ABUSE DCF SUNCOAST REGION”
“BEHAVIORAL HEALTH HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS”
“BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PASCO COUNTY SCHOOLS”

Positioning adjacent work

Treat this as a DCF Suncoast managing entity; the route in is network provider or subcontractor status.
Anchor any work to a named Suncoast county: Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, Sarasota, Lee, Collier, Charlotte.
Smallest realistic entry point is the school-based line; several vendors received $5,000 to $250,000.
Pair with an existing large grantee like Operation PAR or Gracepoint rather than competing against them.

Worth knowing: This is state behavioral health money moving through a regional managing entity, not discretionary philanthropy, so awards follow DCF contracts and prior-year performance rather than proposals. Twelve providers absorb the large majority of the $1.03 billion, all in the Suncoast counties; the single Illinois and Tennessee entries are address artifacts, including a Hendry County School District record listed in Dixon, IL.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
