Summary
This opportunity offers flexible support for nonprofit organizations serving a particular coastal county in Florida. At its heart, the program is grounded in the goal of fostering a healthier, more vibrant, and more resilient local community. Funding decisions are guided by the most recent local needs assessment and community data, ensuring priorities are rooted in real, evolving challenges.
The grant programs are divided into a few focus areas. One stream supports proven nonprofit programs that serve vulnerable populations—think essential health, housing, education, economic opportunity, and services for those at risk. Grants under this category can reach up to approximately fifty thousand dollars. Another stream is geared toward supporting capital needs—like enhancing or expanding facilities—for established nonprofits. These capital awards may go as high as around one hundred thousand dollars, particularly when the initiative is well underway.
There are also programs that center specifically on areas such as animal welfare, the environment, and preserving local heritage. These investments mirror the structure above—supporting both established programming and capital projects—with similar funding ranges.
Additionally, a third stream encourages local groups to propose ideas that reflect the spirit of community leadership and creative engagement—something that hones in on the foundation’s vision and values.
Applicants must be registered as nonprofit entities and must serve or be based in that particular county. The process typically begins with a brief proposal or letter of ideas. If that passes initial review, select organizations are invited to submit a full application. Note that multi-year requests generally aren’t accepted, and current applicants must have any required progress reports submitted before applying again.
Overall, this funding is structured to be timely, thoughtful, and tailored to support nonprofit efforts that uplift the region—in both immediate program impact and long-term community strengthening—whether through operational support, capital investment, or targeted thematic initiatives.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Florida that are actively involved in Environment. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
