Ashbritt Foundation makes a small number of large, discretionary gifts concentrated in Florida-based causes with an emphasis on youth, education and community-focused nonprofits. Their giving includes a seven-figure university gift as well as substantial grants to foundations and programs that serve young people and community healing, suggesting interest in both institutional higher education and grassroots/advocacy efforts. The foundation’s grantees are a mix of well-known institutions and smaller, mission-driven organizations, indicating flexibility in grant size and type.
A $1,000,000 grant to the University of Miami stands out in Ashbritt Foundation Inc’s recent giving and shows the scale it can deploy for higher education alongside smaller community grants. The foundation’s recent records also include repeated support for youth-serving organizations, Florida-based advocacy groups, and direct-service nonprofits, with gifts ranging from five figures into the mid-six figures. That mix points to discretionary grantmaking rather than a single program template. Ashbritt Foundation Inc has backed institutions and community organizations with different missions and sizes. It gave $540,500 and then $154,000 and $150,000 to Bret Boyer Foundation across separate years, and $400,000 to Trayvon Martin Foundation. It also funded Naples Children and Education Found at $260,000 and later $40,000, showing continued attention to a local youth and education organization. Other grants went to Boys and Girls Clubs of America, Habitat for Humanity of Broward, After School All Stars, Overtown Youth Center, Lauren's Kids, and Best Budies International. The pattern suggests a Florida-centered funder that combines large anchor gifts with recurring support for community-serving nonprofits.
Higher education is one visible part of the portfolio. The foundation awarded $1,000,000 to the University of Miami in Coral Gables for charitable purposes, placing institutional education among its largest commitments. Youth development and education appear repeatedly in Florida. Naples Children and Education Found received $260,000 in 2025 and $40,000 in 2024, while After School All Stars received $100,000 in 2023 and Overtown Youth Center received $100,000 in 2025. The foundation also gave $150,000 to Boys and Girls Clubs of America and $53,725 to Boys and Girls Club of Valdosta Inc, indicating support for structured youth programming. Its giving also reaches advocacy and family-support work. Trayvon Martin Foundation received $400,000, and Lauren's Kids received $75,250, both pointing to interest in community healing and safety-related causes.
Typical grants cluster at a modest but flexible scale: p25 is $1,500, median grant size is $5,000, and p75 is $19,750. The recent record also shows that Ashbritt Foundation Inc makes a limited number of much larger discretionary gifts, including seven-figure and six-figure awards. Several recipients appear more than once across different years, including Bret Boyer Foundation, Broken Shackle Ranch, Naples Children and Education Found, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, Best Budies International, and Habitat for Humanity of Broward. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
