About Florida Council Against Sexual Violence
Florida Council Against Sexual Violence Inc channels large, repeated grants to organizations that provide advocacy for victims of sexual violence across Florida. In 2025, its largest recent award went to Gulf Coast Children's Advocacy Center in Panama City, followed by major grants to Victim Service Center of Central Florida Inc in Orlando and Refuge House Inc in Tallahassee. The pattern points to a funder backing direct services rather than isolated projects: recipients include children's advocacy centers, crisis centers, health systems, county victim services offices, and community-based service providers. The foundation's recent awards also show a statewide network of providers serving survivors through advocacy, support, and related response services. Its grantmaking reaches organizations in Panama City, Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, West Palm Beach, Naples, Fort Myers, and other Florida communities. Several recipients appear more than once across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including Gulf Coast Children's Advocacy Center, Victim Service Center of Central Florida Inc, Refuge House Inc, The Women's Center of Jacksonville, Mujer Inc, Project Help Inc, Abuse Counseling and Treatment Center Inc, and Palm Beach County Victim Services. That repetition suggests ongoing relationships with established service organizations rather than one-time awards.
What Florida Council Against Sexual Violence Funds

Children and family-serving providers also appear prominently. Gulf Coast Children's Advocacy Center received $1,237,897 in 2025 and $990,836 in 2024, both for advocacy for victims of sexual violence, indicating sustained support for a child advocacy model.
