The Clark Family Foundation concentrates on sizable capital and facility-focused gifts that expand services for children, families and survivors of abuse—particularly pediatric healthcare, family housing, and residential care. Most grants support building campaigns, facility expansions, endowments, or program infrastructure (e.g., pediatric specialty clinics, mental-health navigation, and housing units) with a clear emphasis on organizations serving children and vulnerable families in Florida and nearby regions. The foundation favors mission-critical, tangible assets (buildings, centers, endowments) rather than small programmatic grants.
Clark Family Foundation Inc concentrates on large, place-based gifts that change physical capacity for children, families, and survivors of abuse. The biggest recent awards include $1,150,000 to Lee Health Foundation for the Golisano Children’s Hospital of SWFL Kids Minds Matter mental health navigator and pediatric specialty clinic expansion, and $1,000,000 to Ronald Mcdonald House Charities Inc - Tampa Bay for a new house capital campaign. Those grants fit a broader pattern of capital campaigns, facility expansions, and endowment-style support rather than small program-only awards. Across recent years, the foundation has also backed housing, pediatric care, residential care, and therapeutic environments, often with a strong Florida connection and a focus on services that are mission-critical for vulnerable children and families. The grant list shows repeated support for organizations building or improving campuses, apartments, clinics, and family lodging, alongside funding for program infrastructure such as mental health navigation, equipment, and residential renovations. That combination suggests a funder interested in durable assets that allow service providers to expand reach, improve safety, or create new specialized spaces.
In pediatric and children’s-health work, Clark Family Foundation Inc gave $250,000 to Norton Children’s Hospital Foundation for the Norton Children’s Autism Center and another $188,580 to Arkansas Childrens Hospital for an echo cardiogram machine and transesophageal echo probe. Mental health is another visible theme: the foundation awarded $152,500 to David Lawrence Mental Health Center Inc for children’s community services mental health program, crisis unit expansion, and mental health first aid responders. Housing and shelter appear as well, including $550,000 to The Shelter for Abused Women & Children Inc for general operating support and an Immokalee endowment for a 16-unit apartment complex. The foundation also supported food access with $142,000 to Meals of Hope Inc for feeding families through mobile pantries and hurricane-related costs.
Typical grant size centers on mid-sized awards, with a 25th percentile of $20,000, a median of $30,000, and a 75th percentile of $62,125. The recent grant list shows a long tail of larger capital gifts, including seven-figure commitments, alongside many smaller operating and program awards. Recipients can appear across multiple years: Lee Health Foundation, Home of the Innocents, Ronald Mcdonald House Charities, Maryhurst Inc, The Shelter for Abused Women & Children Inc, Guadalupe Center Inc, and Norton Children’s Hospital Foundation each show repeated support in more than one year. The foundation is a family foundation, gives regionally, and funds individuals. No application process is stated in the data.
