About Florida Association of Healthy Start Coalitions
Florida Association of Healthy Start Coalitions funds child health improvement at statewide scale through Florida’s Healthy Start network, with repeated support for local coalitions serving pregnant women, mothers, babies, and families. Its recent grantmaking is dominated by large awards to coalition partners such as North Central Healthy Start Coalition in Gainesville and Hillsborough Hsc in Tampa, both of which appear across multiple years. The foundation also backs organizations beyond the coalition system when they fit Healthy Start priorities, including health-focused nonprofits and health systems that work on infant and maternal outcomes. Recent awards show a consistent emphasis on direct services and preventive health rather than individuals or program-related investments. The organization’s stated purpose is to improve the health of pregnant women, mothers, babies, and families through statewide advocacy and initiatives that support local communities and Healthy Start Coalitions. That mission is reflected in its funding pattern: recurring support for entities that deliver maternal and child health services, screening, home visiting, perinatal support, and family education. The recipient base is entirely in Florida, which matches the foundation’s local geographic scope of giving.
What Florida Association of Healthy Start Coalitions Funds
Maternal and child health is the core of the foundation’s grantmaking. One recent award went to Step Up Suncoast Inc in Sarasota for $1,229,470 to improve child health, and similar awards support coalitions and service providers across Florida. The foundation also funds regional infrastructure for screening and early identification. It gave $596,544 to Ounce of Prevention Inc in Tallahassee for improve child health, adding capacity within the state’s early-childhood support system. Health-system partners also appear in the portfolio: Orlando Health Inc received $519,702 for improve child health, showing that the foundation funds both community-based coalitions and hospital-linked organizations when they align with Healthy Start priorities. Across these examples, the common thread is preventive services for pregnant women, infants, and young children.
How Florida Association of Healthy Start Coalitions Gives
Typical awards are sizable, with a p25 of $143,090, a median of $303,398, and a p75 of $794,762. The recent grants list also shows repeat support across years, especially for the same Florida recipients, which points to an ongoing funding relationship rather than one-off awards. The foundation operates as a grantmaker tied to Healthy Start coalitions and programmatic health improvement, not an individual-giving or PRI funder. It also uses formal requests for proposals and invitations to negotiate, including statewide RFPs and ITNs for data systems, needs assessments, toolkit development, and secondary data analysis.
