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

  • Transfers to other donor-advised fund sponsors (Fidelity, AEF, DAFgiving)
  • Churches, synagogues, and faith-based ministries across all denominations
  • Colleges, universities, private schools, and school foundations
  • Hospital and health system foundations, medical research institutions
  • Arts, museums, public media, and community/regional theater
  • Human services: food relief, veterans housing, rescue missions, United Ways

Typical grant

Median grant is $12,500, with the middle half falling between $8,000 and $26,000. That is the real story: over 24,000 grants to nearly 15,000 recipients, most of them small individual donor recommendations. The seven- and eight-figure checks go almost entirely to other DAF sponsors or to single large donor gifts (PBS Foundation, Conquer Paralysis Now, Oregon Shakespeare Festival), not to a foundation program. Recipients repeat year over year when the underlying donor keeps recommending, so a relationship with one advisor can produce steady mid-size gifts.

Their words

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

  • GENERAL SUPPORT
  • charitable endowment fund
  • donor advised

Positioning adjacent work

  • Treat this as a DAF sponsor, not a foundation. Cultivate individual Raymond James clients and their financial advisors, not the fund itself.
  • Ask in the $10,000 to $25,000 range from any single donor; that matches the bulk of their distribution pattern.
  • Register clearly as a 501(c)(3) able to accept unrestricted general support with no reporting burden; that is what every grant is.
  • Concentrate donor prospecting in TX, FL, MI, TN, and CA, where recipient counts are highest.

Worth knowing: This is a donor-advised fund sponsor, so giving reflects thousands of individual client recommendations rather than any board priority; there is no program, no staff review, and no theory of change to speak to. The largest dollars are simply account transfers to Fidelity Charitable, American Endowment Foundation, and similar sponsors, so exclude them when sizing the real grantmaking.

Top recipients

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