Ideal Applicant
A small, local Florida nonprofit or community group focused on youth sports, community events, or local conservation with a clear, modest one-time project or sponsorship need tied to Daytona-area activities.
Good Fit
- • Located in Volusia County or nearby Florida communities.
- • Project relates to youth sports, team/uniform support, event sponsorship, or community service promotions like 'Feel Good Fridays.'
- • Request size consistent with prior grants (typically a few hundred to a few thousand dollars).
- • Willingness to partner visibly with the Daytona Tortugas brand or events.
- • Can submit a concise donation/request via the online form and show immediate local impact.
Geography
Observed giving is exclusively in Florida across the four-year record, with the foundation based in Daytona Beach and all grants concentrated in-state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 15 distinct recipients (and prior years show 8–13 recipients), including charities, a government recipient, and for‑profit vendors, and most recent grantees were new to the portfolio, indicating a broad set of independent local recipients for a micro foundation.
New Applicants
Behavior shows many new grantees (12 new in the latest year) and a public donation/request form is available, but the foundation also declares that grants are 'preselected,' so direct evidence of a fully open competitive process is mixed.
