Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize Miami–Dade nonprofit working in arts and culture, LGBTQ+ causes, or HIV/AIDS/community health seeking modest general-support grants and willing to submit a brief letter of intent.
Good Fit
- • Located in Miami–Dade County or serving that community.
- • Mission focused on arts/culture, LGBTQ+ issues, or HIV/AIDS/health services.
- • Requests align with modest general support or program funding under typical small-grant sizes.
- • Able to submit a concise letter of intent and to provide local impact details.
Geography
Giving is concentrated in Florida (about 83% of 2024 dollars) but includes out-of-state payments to two other states, indicating a state-level/regional footprint rather than strictly city-only support.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 25 distinct recipients (and 50 recipients in the earlier observed year) with only two repeat grantees across the observed years, demonstrating a broad and changing recipient set for this foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is strong: 23 of 25 recipients in 2024 were new, and a public submission route (rolling letter of intent) with a named contact is provided, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
