To support and strengthen South Florida communities by investing in youth development, education, health & wellness, and increasing access to hockey and recreational opportunities.
Florida Panthers Foundation Inc’s recent grantmaking centers on South Florida communities and uses hockey-adjacent philanthropy to support youth development, education, health and wellness, and access to recreational opportunities. A $100,000 general-support grant to Anthony Duclair Foundation in Fort Lauderdale stands out as the largest grant in the recent record, while a $65,000 award to Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale shows support for local institutions beyond sports. The foundation also backed Broward Health Foundation with $50,000 and Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation Inc with $25,000, pointing to a practical mix of community health and family-serving organizations. Its priorities include youth sports, education, health & wellness, and community services, with a strong local footprint: 82% of grants went to recipients in Florida. The recent grant list also includes Boys and Girls Clubs of Broward County, Covenant House Florida, and Make Schools Safe, which suggests attention to youth-serving and community-safety work alongside hockey-related giving. Grants are commonly general support, with several awards at the $20,000 to $25,000 level.
Health-related grantmaking appears alongside youth and community support. In 2024, Florida Panthers Foundation Inc gave $50,000 to Baptist Health South Florida Foundation in Coral Gables for general support, and $17,600 to The Promise Fund of Florida Inc in West Palm Beach, also for general support. Youth-serving organizations are another clear focus: the foundation awarded $25,000 to Boys and Girls Clubs of Broward County in Fort Lauderdale for general support, and $10,000 to Pace Center for Girls in Miami for general support. Community safety and basic needs show up as well, with $20,000 grants to Make Schools Safe in Parkland and Covenant House Florida in Fort Lauderdale. Sports access is part of the pattern too, including $20,000 to American Special Hockey Association in Binghamton and $20,000 to You Can Play Inc in Denver.
Typical grants cluster at a modest project- or operating-support scale: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $10,000, and the 75th percentile is $20,000. The recent record also includes larger outliers, but most awards sit within that band. The foundation appears to favor general support, and several recipients recur across years, including Broward Health Foundation and Baptist Health South Florida Foundation. It is a regular funder rather than a donor-advised fund and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Unsolicited applications are not accepted in the listed programs.
