The Coral Gables Community Foundation inspires impactful philanthropy through charitable funds and programs using local knowledge, expertise and trusted relationships to improve the quality of life for those who live, work, learn and play in Coral Gables.
Coral Gables Community Foundation Inc works through charitable funds and programs to support life in Coral Gables, and its recent grant history shows that approach in practice: large health-related awards sit alongside arts, education, community, and religious support. The biggest recent grant listed is $1,000,500 to Pkd Foundation for health services, followed by $650,000 to The Tampa General Hospital Foundation Inc and $500,000 to Seminole Boosters Inc for community support. That mix suggests a funder that moves between major institutional grants and smaller local awards rather than staying in one narrow lane. The foundation’s recent grants also point to a strong relationship with South Florida institutions and cultural organizations. Seraphic Fire Inc received $158,305 in 2025 and an additional supporting grant in 2024, while Books & Books of Coral Gables Inc received $83,307. Education appears in the same portfolio through awards to the University of Miami - Rsmas, Friendship Circle of Miami, and Coral Gables Senior High School. Across those grants, the foundation supports organizations that serve residents, children and youth, patients, and local community life.
Health services are a major part of the foundation’s giving. In 2025, it awarded $1,000,500 to Pkd Foundation for health services, $650,000 to The Tampa General Hospital Foundation Inc for health services, and $45,000 to Liga Contra El Cancer Inc League Against Cancer Inc for health services. Arts and culture also receive support. Seraphic Fire Inc was awarded $158,305 in 2025, and Books & Books of Coral Gables Inc received $83,307 for literary work. The foundation also made a $27,250 supporting grant to Coral Gables Art Cinema in 2023. Education and children’s programs appear across several awards. University of Miami - Rsmas received $50,000 for education & children, Friendship Circle of Miami received $33,039 for education & children, and Coral Gables Senior High School received $25,910 for education & children.
The typical grant size centers on modest awards: p25 is $6,575, median is $10,000, and p75 is $17,362. The recent grant list also shows that the foundation makes both small community awards and much larger institutional grants, with several awards above $100,000 and a broader run of five-figure support. The portfolio includes repeated support to some recipients across years, such as Seraphic Fire Inc, Ecumenical Catholic Church of Christ, Baptist Health South Florida Foundation Inc, and the University of Florida Foundation. The foundation appears to operate through charitable funds and programs rather than individual giving or program-related investments. A community grants program is listed as accepting unsolicited requests.
