Black Diamond Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization dedicated to contributing to the charitable needs of Citrus County.
Black Diamond Foundation Inc. centers its giving on Citrus County needs, with one of its clearest priorities shown in a $57,000 grant to the Community Food Bank of Citrus County for warehouse acquisition and general operations. The 2023 grants file shows a local funder that supports food security, education, homelessness response, health, autism services, veterans, and youth programs. Its largest grants went to a food bank and an education nonprofit, while smaller awards still stayed close to the same county-wide needs. The foundation’s recent support includes $54,000 to the Citrus County Education Foundation for student homelessness, scholarships, and educational support, and $25,000 to the Mid Florida Homeless Coalition for assisting homeless residents of Citrus County. Other grants reached a cancer support group, a food pantry, a college scholarship program, and organizations serving children, veterans, and people with autism. The pattern suggests a local grantmaker focused on practical services, school access, and basic needs within Citrus County.
Education is a major theme in Black Diamond Foundation Inc.’s grantmaking. In 2023, it gave $54,000 to the Citrus County Education Foundation for student homelessness, scholarship, and educational support, and $17,200 to Take Stock in Children of Citrus County for college scholarships for low-income students. It also awarded $8,500 to YMCA of the Suncoast for child education programs. Basic needs work is another clear area. The foundation provided $20,000 to Serving Our Savior Food Pantry for a food pantry, and it gave $25,000 to the Mid Florida Homeless Coalition for assisting the homeless of Citrus County. Health and human services appear as well, including a $20,859 grant to Citrus Aid Cancer Foundation for cancer patient support and $10,000 to Els for Autism Foundation for autism care and education.
Typical grants sit in a mid-sized local range: p25 is $11,250, median is $18,600, and p75 is $23,965. The 2023 grants list also shows larger awards at the top end, including a $57,000 grant and several gifts above $20,000. The foundation is a Regular Funder, not a DAF. The available records show a 2023 grant year and a local pattern concentrated in Florida, with every listed recipient in the state.
