The Del Riego Family Foundation concentrates large, local gifts on education and children's health in the Miami–South Florida area. Their giving favors Catholic and faith-affiliated K–12 and higher-education institutions as well as pediatric healthcare and childhood cancer research/charity, with occasional support for child-focused policy/advocacy and cultural/heritage causes. Grants are sizable and often directed to repeat regional partners, indicating long-term relationships with a small set of beneficiaries.
Del Riego Family Foundation Inc made a 2024 grant of $1,437,956 to The FIU Foundation, the largest recent award in the data. That gift sits alongside other major support for Miami-based education and health institutions, including Cristo Rey Miami High School, St Thomas University, and Baptist Health South Florida. The pattern points to a foundation that backs large institutional grants rather than small, dispersed awards. Across the recent grants list, the foundation repeatedly funds Catholic and faith-linked education, pediatric healthcare, and childhood cancer work in South Florida. Its grantees include Miami schools, local hospitals, and children’s health organizations, with several recipients appearing in more than one year. A 2025 grant to Florida International University’s medical school shows that higher education and health training also fit within the portfolio. The foundation’s support extends to family and child services as well as civic and heritage organizations, but the core of the giving remains local and institution-centered. Recurring awards to the same organizations suggest that relationships and sustained support matter in how the foundation gives.
In Catholic and faith-based education, Del Riego Family Foundation Inc gave $500,000 in 2025 to Cristo Rey High School for education and $400,000 the same year to St Thomas University for education. Earlier grants also went to school-based and faith-linked institutions in Miami, including St Agatha Catholic Church for religious purposes. Children’s health is another clear focus. The foundation awarded $500,000 in 2025 to Baptist Health South Florida Founda for cancer research and $500,000 to Baptist Health Foundation for a cancer center. It also gave $275,000 and $100,000 to Live Like Bella Inc for childhood cancer. For early childhood and child advocacy, the foundation gave $250,000 in 2025 to Early Childhood Initiative for education and $250,000 to The Children Movement of Florida for advocacy for children under 5 years old. The grant record also includes support for medical education through Florida International University’s medical school.
Typical grant size is substantial: the 25th percentile is $31,699, the median is $100,000, and the 75th percentile is $250,000. The distribution includes several awards at $500,000 and above, with a few grants reaching into seven figures. The pattern also shows repeat giving to the same organizations across multiple years, especially in education and children’s health. Del Riego Family Foundation Inc is a family foundation, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments, based on the provided profile data.

Giving is strongly concentrated in Florida, which accounts for 94% of grants, and the foundation’s stated geographic scope is local. Miami is the main recipient city, with additional grants to North Miami, Opa Locka, North Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale. Outside Florida, a smaller share of grants went to Franklin Square, New York, and Encinitas, California. All recorded recipient-country data are in the United States.

Recent recipients include schools, hospitals, children’s health groups, and family-support organizations, with most awards going to Florida institutions.
The foundation’s grant-size profile is relatively large. The 25th percentile is $31,699, the median is $100,000, and the 75th percentile is $250,000. Several recent awards are above that range, including multiple $500,000 grants.
Very concentrated. Florida receives 94% of the grants, and the foundation describes its scope as local. Miami is the most common recipient city, with additional Florida recipients in North Miami, Opa Locka, North Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale.
Yes. The recent grant list shows repeat awards across multiple years, especially to education and children’s-health organizations. Some recipients appear more than once in 2024 and 2025, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts.
No. The profile data lists Funds individuals as false and Makes program-related investments as false, so its giving is through organizational grants rather than individual aid or PRIs.
