Working to Improve Life in Northeast Florida for All

Learn more about some of our key focus areas below.

A.L. Lewis Fund
We support a collective giving initiative that focuses on enhancing education, economic development and healthcare for historically marginalized citizens.

We make grants and connect donors to affordable housing initiatives, and invest local capital to help bring more units to market.
Arts
We nurture individual artists and small arts organizations with annual grantmaking and provide opportunities for greater participation for the wider community.

Donors Forum brings together our fundholders, as well as representatives of private, corporate, independent and family foundations in Northeast Florida, to learn about community and philanthropic issues.
