The Addison Hines Charitable Trust concentrates large, targeted gifts to health- and community-focused organizations, with particular interest in pediatric specialty care, Alzheimer’s day care/caregiver services, and public broadcasting in South Florida. They make multiple repeat grants to the same organizations, underwriting specific programs or capital/technology needs (e.g., imaging equipment) and annual media underwriting. Although based in Connecticut, a notable share of funding supports South Florida institutions, suggesting a geographic or personal connection to that region.
Addison Hines Charitable Tr. makes repeated six-figure grants to a small set of organizations, with public television in South Florida as a defining line of support. The trust gave South Florida PBS $155,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, all for public TV underwriting, showing a clear multi-year pattern rather than isolated awards. Healthcare is another major thread: Shriners Hospitals for Children received $150,000 grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for equipment and music therapy-related needs, including a urodynamic machine, OR video imaging, and Multitom Rax. The trust also backs Alzheimer’s day care and caregiver education, including recurring support for Alzheimer's Community Care in West Palm Beach. Its grantmaking includes capital needs and program support across hospitals, arts education, youth programs, and disaster response, with much of the activity centered in Florida. Although the foundation is legally tied to Connecticut, the grants data point to sustained giving relationships in South Florida and other U.S. locations.
Public media underwriting is one of the clearest themes in the trust’s recent activity. It gave $155,000 to South Florida PBS in 2025 to underwrite public TV, following the same size and purpose in 2023 and 2024. Healthcare support is equally prominent: Shriners Hospitals for Children received $150,000 in 2025 for a Multitom Rax and music therapy program, building on prior equipment-focused awards. The trust also funds services for people living with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers. In 2025, Alzheimer's Community Care received $135,000 for Alzheimer’s day care and caregiver education. Arts and training appear in smaller grants too, including $50,000 to School of the Arts Foundation in West Palm Beach for an adjunct artist education program.
Typical grant size is tightly clustered around the mid-five figures: p25 is $50,000, median is $50,000, and p75 is $78,750. The recent grants list shows repeated awards to the same recipients across 2023, 2024, and 2025, especially for South Florida PBS, Shriners Hospitals for Children, Alzheimer's Community Care, American Red Cross, and others. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships and renewal of support rather than one-off giving. The foundation is a charitable trust and does not fund individuals. No application process is shown in the provided data.

Concentrated, relatively large grants to a small number of repeat grantees; program- or project-specific funding (equipment, day programs, annual media underwriting) often given in multiple installments.
Notable grantees: Shriners Hospitals for Children, Alzheimer's Community Care, South Florida PBS (public television underwriting)
Giving is regional and strongly Florida-centered. The top state by grant count is Florida, and the recent grants cluster heavily in South Florida cities such as Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Palm Beach Gardens, Palm Springs, Miami, and Saint Petersburg. Several grants also land outside Florida, including Philadelphia, Memphis, and Upper Chichester. All listed grants in the data go to U.S. recipients.
The recent grants show repeated support for public media, healthcare, Alzheimer’s services, arts education, youth programs, and disaster relief. Examples include public TV underwriting for South Florida PBS, equipment and therapy support for Shriners Hospitals for Children, and caregiver education for Alzheimer's Community Care.
Yes. Several recipients appear in multiple years. South Florida PBS received $155,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025; Shriners Hospitals for Children received $150,000 in each of those years; and Alzheimer's Community Care received $135,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
The distribution is centered on $50,000 awards: p25 is $50,000, median is $50,000, and p75 is $78,750. Larger awards also appear, including $155,000, $150,000, and $135,000 grants.
Florida is the top state by grant count. The recipient cities in the recent grants list include Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Palm Beach Gardens, Palm Springs, Miami, and Saint Petersburg.
The foundation does not fund individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. The available data also shows it operates as a charitable trust rather than a grant program with an individual-application process.
