To promote the interests of individuals with disabilities by acting as a public policy change agent, and to promote and serve the interests of community human service provider organizations.
Florida Association of Rehabilitation Facilities Inc concentrates its grantmaking on disability services and employment pathways, with nearly all of its recent funding tied to Project SEARCH. In 2024, the largest listed award went to Goodwill Suncoast in Oldsmar for a Project SEARCH grant, and similar grants were made to The Arc of Putnam County Inc in Palatka, Macdonald Training Center Inc in Tampa, and The Arc of Martin County Inc in Stuart. That pattern points to a funder supporting program-specific work for people with disabilities rather than broad, open-ended philanthropy. The foundation’s stated purpose is to promote the interests of individuals with disabilities by acting as a public policy change agent and to support community human service provider organizations. Recent giving also includes a smaller micro-enterprise grant to Lighthouse for the Visually Impaired & Blind in Brooksville, showing interest in both employment-related programming and targeted economic support for program participants. With annual grants of $501,885 and assets of $18,887,308, the foundation operates at a local scale within Florida.
Project SEARCH is the clearest program theme in the recent grants. The foundation gave $124,181 to Goodwill Suncoast for a Project SEARCH grant, $123,742 to The Arc of Putnam County Inc for the same purpose, and $121,800 to Macdonald Training Center Inc for a Project SEARCH grant. Those awards connect the funder to project-based workforce training for people with disabilities. A separate $119,662 grant to The Arc of Martin County Inc also supported Project SEARCH, reinforcing that this is a repeated funding priority rather than a one-off award. Beyond workforce programming, the foundation also supported micro-enterprise activity with a $12,500 grant to Lighthouse for the Visually Impaired & Blind for a micro-enterprise grant. Across these examples, the foundation’s giving is tied to disability services, employment support, and provider organizations carrying out structured programs.
Recent awards cluster tightly around a narrow grant-size band: p25 is $119,662, median is $121,800, and p75 is $123,742. That indicates a highly consistent award pattern for the main program grants. The 2024 list also shows one smaller award at $12,500, which sits outside the main range. The foundation’s grants appear program-specific and project-based, with Project SEARCH as the dominant structure in the recent sample. The available recent grants are all from 2024, so the record here shows a current-year pattern rather than a multi-year comparison. The organization does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
