The Florida Alliance for Civic Engagement concentrates almost exclusively on civic engagement, voter participation, and democratic advocacy—primarily in Florida but with some national partners. It funds a mix of voter protection, civic education, and community organizing groups, with special emphasis on immigrant enfranchisement, fair districts/voting rights, and infrastructure organizations that support campaigns and field operations. The foundation favors organizations that run voter education/outreach, legal and policy advocacy around elections, and grassroots mobilization among underrepresented communities.
Concentrated, mid-to-large grants to a relatively small set of civic and advocacy organizations (several repeat grantees), combining a few large national intermediaries with many state and local frontline groups; funding emphasizes program support for voter contact, legal/advocacy work, and organizing rather than one-off small donations.
Florida Alliance for Civic Engagement Inc concentrates its giving on civic education, with recent support ranging from Florida-based advocacy groups to national civic infrastructure organizations. In 2025, its largest recent grant was $250,000 to New Venture Fund in Newark, Delaware, for civic education, followed by $235,000 to Florida Association Planned Parenthood in West Palm Beach and $170,000 to Florida Watch in Tallahassee. That pattern shows a funder working through both local Florida organizations and larger intermediaries tied to elections, voter outreach, and democratic participation. The foundation’s grant list also includes repeated support for groups connected to voter engagement and voting-rights work, such as Florida Watch, Aclu Foundation of Florida, and Fair Elections Center. Several grantees are based in South Florida, including Miami and Homestead, which aligns with the foundation’s regional scope of giving. Across the recent grants, civic education is the consistent thread, but the recipient mix shows different delivery models: direct advocacy organizations, fiscal sponsors, and field-oriented civic groups. The foundation is led by Alani Adekambi.
Civic education is the clearest through line in the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2025, it gave $60,000 to Civic Roots Foundation in Tallahassee and $40,000 to Engage Florida Civic Fund in Miami, both described as civic education grants. Its support also reaches immigrant civic engagement and Latinx organizing. Miami Freedom Project for Democracy received $40,000 in 2025, while MI Familia En Accion in Phoenix received $60,000 the same year, both under the civic education category. Voting-rights and fair-districts work appear in the recent record as well. Fair Districts Now in Miami received $25,000 in 2025, and Fair Elections Center in Washington, DC received grants of $25,000 in 2023 and $15,000 in 2025. The foundation also funded Florida Immigrant Coalition in Miami for $40,000 in 2025, underscoring a focus on outreach to underrepresented communities.
Typical grants cluster in the mid-five-figure range: the 25th percentile is $21,875, the median is $28,250, and the 75th percentile is $61,250. The recent list also includes several larger awards above that range, including $100,000, $154,500, $166,000, $170,000, $235,000, and $250,000. Grantmaking appears to recur across years for some recipients: Florida Watch, Project 68' Education Fund Inc, Acronym Plus, Fair Elections Center, and Fair Elections Center each appear more than once. The foundation gives as a nonprofit grantmaker rather than through individual support, and the available data points to program support and capacity-building styles of funding.
