Ideal Applicant
Small to mid‑sized Catholic campus ministries, Newman Centers, or local faith‑based educational programs with a demonstrated connection to the foundation’s geographic or programmatic interests.
Good Fit
- • Mission aligned with Catholic campus ministry or Newman Center work.
- • Located in or serving Florida (or historically funded nearby states such as Tennessee).
- • Requests for modest grants or sponsorships (typical awards in the $5K–$17K range).
- • Existing relationship, invitation, or prior contact with foundation leadership or network.
Geography
Giving is concentrated in Florida but crosses state lines (Florida and Tennessee in the latest year), with roughly 82% of 2023 dollars to Florida; this looks like a state/regional footprint rather than purely local or national.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows only three distinct recipients, but the 2021 filings show nine distinct recipients and there is some turnover; this indicates a modestly diverse portfolio historically but a smaller, more concentrated set in the most recent year.
New Applicants
The foundation’s site and application page are public but state that applicants are preselected only; behavioral evidence shows at least one new recipient in 2023, so unsolicited entry may be possible but is not clearly encouraged.
