The Fanjul Foundation makes a small number of relatively large gifts focused on local education and health causes, with additional support for animal welfare and occasional disaster/COVID relief. A large share of its giving goes to a recurring beneficiary (Glades Academy Foundation), while other one-off major gifts support medical care (cardiology at Cleveland Clinic Florida) and veterinary charity campaigns. Gifts include support for both K–12/private schools and healthcare institutions, suggesting priorities around educational opportunity in their community plus medical and animal welfare philanthropy.
Emilia & J Pepe Fanjul Foundation Inc gives in a concentrated way, with a recurring commitment to Glades Academy Foundation Inc and other sizable gifts tied to education, health care, and animal welfare. The largest recent grant in the record is $250,000 to Glades Academy Foundation Inc for education, followed by additional support to the same organization through charity-event funding in earlier years. That repeat pattern stands out alongside a separate $100,000 grant to Cleveland Clinic Florida for cardiology, showing that the foundation backs both school-centered work and medical care. Their recent record also includes notable support for The Animal Medical Center in New York, indicating that animal welfare is another sustained interest rather than a one-off theme. Beyond those core areas, the foundation has funded private secondary education, scholarship-related fundraising, and community nonprofits in Palm Beach County. It also appears in heritage and relief contexts, including restoration work, Ukraine relief, and COVID-19 crisis funding. The overall profile is one of a small number of relatively large awards, often directed to organizations with event-based or named-purpose campaigns, rather than a broad spread of many small grants.
Education is a clear strand in the foundation’s giving. In 2025, it awarded $250,000 to Glades Academy Foundation Inc for education, and it also gave $25,000 to Deerfield Academy for its annual fund. Scholarship-related support appears too: Boston College received $20,000 for the Boston College Fund/The Barbara and Jim Cleary Scholarship Gala Fund. Health-related philanthropy is another focus. Cleveland Clinic Florida received $100,000 for a cardiology fund, while the Society of Mks received $5,000 for a research initiative for research in women’s cancer. The foundation also supported relief and preservation work, including $10,000 to The Catholic Diocese of Palm Beach for Ukraine relief funding and $5,000 to Cat Cay Restoration & Preservation Fund for restoration and preservation of Cat Cay. Animal welfare appears in multiple grants as well, including The Animal Medical Center’s Gift of Love campaign and Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League’s dog adoption fund.

Concentrated, large-dollar giving to a few recipients: repeat major support for a flagship local beneficiary (Glades Academy) combined with single large grants to hospitals, animal welfare organizations, and select schools; few, high-value grants rather than many small awards.
