The trust concentrates its small philanthropic portfolio exclusively on education, primarily supporting higher education and student aid in its local community (Indian River County, FL). It makes repeat, focused gifts to an area university and to a local scholarship provider, indicating an emphasis on enabling postsecondary access for local students. Grants are modest in size but targeted to institutions that serve the region.
Concentrated and local: few, modest-sized grants focused solely on education with repeat support to a primary university grantee and targeted scholarship organizations rather than broad, diversified giving.
Archie S Wingfield Jr Charitable Trust U/a/d 5/15/1995 gives in a narrow pattern: modest general-support grants tied to education, student aid, and a few closely related community institutions in Indian River County and nearby Florida campuses. The trust’s recent filings show repeated support for the Scholarship Foundation of Indian River County, which received $21,500 in 2023 and $7,000 in 2024, alongside recurring support for Stetson University, including $20,050 in 2024 and $20,000 in 2023. Those gifts point to a funder that prioritizes postsecondary access and institutional support rather than broad, diversified philanthropy. The portfolio also extends to education-adjacent organizations in the local area, including Indian River Charter High School and Youth Guidance Mentoring, both funded for general support, plus cultural and public-service groups that sit close to the trust’s community footprint. Grants are usually unrestricted and aimed at organizations that already serve students, schools, and families in the region. Across the latest grants on file, the trust appears to favor familiar recipients and practical operating support over project-specific awards.
Education is the clearest through line. The trust gave $13,247 in 2024 to Indian River Charter High School for general support, and it backed local scholarship access through the Scholarship Foundation of Indian River County in both 2023 and 2024. At the higher-education level, Stetson University received two consecutive years of general-support funding. The trust also supports arts and media institutions. It gave $11,000 in 2024 to Treasure Coast Jazz Society, after a $8,000 grant in 2023, and it awarded general support to University of Miami Frost School of Music, University of Florida College of the Arts - School of Music, University of Central Florida - Wucf, and University of South Florida - Wusf. Community-oriented organizations appear as well. Youth Guidance Mentoring received $5,000 in 2024, and Friends of Indian River County Library received $3,500 in 2023.
Typical grants are small: the 25th percentile is $500, the median is $500, and the 75th percentile is $1,500. That distribution suggests many low-dollar awards with occasional larger gifts to a small set of institutions. The trust’s recent grants also show repeat support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Stetson University, the Scholarship Foundation of Indian River County, Treasure Coast Jazz Society, University of Miami Frost School of Music, Northeast College of Health Sciences, University of Central Florida - Wucf, and University of South Florida - Wusf. The trust is a charitable trust, and the grants listed are general support rather than restricted project funding.
