A 501(c)(3) non-profit that produces a world-class 10K and related events to raise money for local charities while promoting health and fitness.
30a 10k Inc. directs race profits into local charities through its 30A 10K Charity Partner Program, pairing financial donations with promotional support for selected 501(c)(3) groups in the 30A region. The foundation’s recent grants show a consistent emphasis on youth, family support, and basic-needs services, with awards reaching $50,000 and $30,000 in 2023 and 2024. In the recent grant list, Walton Education Foundation received $50,000 in 2023 and $30,000 in 2024 for operational costs and direct client expenses for youth. Northwest Florida Guardian Ad Litem Foundation Inc received $50,000 in 2023 for the same general purpose, also tied to youth support. The pattern points to a funder that uses local event revenue to back community-serving nonprofits rather than individual giving, and that pairs unrestricted or operational support with service-delivery needs. Additional grants have gone to school, family, and outreach organizations in Walton County and neighboring communities, including groups serving underprivileged children and homeless residents.
Youth services appear to be a core priority. Walton Education Foundation received $50,000 in 2023 and $30,000 in 2024 to help with operational costs and direct client expenses for youth, while The Seaside School Inc received $30,000 in 2023 for the same broad purpose. Family and child welfare also shows up in the grant list: It Takes the Town Inc received $30,000 in 2024 to support its mission to provide underprivileged children. Basic-needs outreach is another clear theme. Caring and Sharing of South Walton received $30,000 in 2023 and $30,000 in 2024 for its outreach program providing food and clothing to homeless and other people in need. These grants align with the foundation’s stated focus areas of children and families and community development.
The typical grant size is tightly grouped around $30,000, with a p25 of $30,000, median of $30,000, and p75 of $40,000. The recent record also shows a higher-end $50,000 level. Grants appear to recur across years: Walton Education Foundation and Caring and Sharing of South Walton each received funding in both 2023 and 2024, indicating a continuing relationship rather than one-off awards. 30a 10k Inc. operates as a nonprofit charity-partner funder tied to event profits, and its active program selects a small number of local 501(c)(3) charities; the program accepts unsolicited applications.
