The HD Perry Family Foundation makes modest, repeat grants across a mix of environmental conservation, humanitarian relief, veterans’ support, and a handful of ideologically conservative media/rights organizations. They show particular interest in marine and coastal projects (including local Florida Keys organizations), emergency food and disaster-response groups, and health/medical research. Grants are typically small-to-medium and often issued in recurring tranches to the same recipients. Their portfolio blends local place-based giving with national and international relief and advocacy causes.
The Hd Perry Family Foundation repeatedly backs a small set of organizations with general-support grants clustered in the $12,000 range, and that repeat pattern is one of the clearest signs of how they fund. Across the recent grants list, the foundation returns to names such as the Gary Sinise Foundation, Cancer Research Institute, and Mike Rowe Works Foundation across multiple years, suggesting a stable portfolio rather than one-off giving. Its grants touch veterans’ support, medical research, environmental defense, and media or rights advocacy, while also supporting place-based work in the Florida Keys. The foundation’s largest recent grant in the list is $15,000 to Mike Rowe Works Foundation for general support. It also gave $13,500 to Cancer Research Institute for general support. Beyond those larger awards, many grants sit at $12,000, including repeated support for the Gary Sinise Foundation and Second Amendment Foundation. The presence of both national organizations and local Florida Keys recipients shows a mix of national-interest and community-centered priorities. In the same portfolio, marine and coral restoration appears alongside emergency food support and scholarship funding, giving the foundation a broad but recognizable grantmaking profile.
Marine and coastal work appears in the foundation’s Florida Keys giving. It awarded $6,124 in 2024 and $6,028 in 2025 to Mote Marine Laboratory for coral restoration in Summerland Key. That same local focus shows up in Marathon through $8,000 in 2023, $6,500 in 2024, and $6,500 in 2025 to Keys Area Interdenominational Resources for Marathon food bank support. The foundation also funds education-related and organizational support. It gave $6,000 in both 2023 and 2025 to Artserve Inc for scholarships. For broader nonprofit sustainability, it issued general-support grants to Environmental Defense Fund, including $10,000 in 2023, $8,000 in 2024, and $7,000 in 2025. Humanitarian relief is another clear thread, with $10,000 in 2023, $8,624 in 2024, and $8,528 in 2025 to Doctors Without Borders USA Inc for general support.
Typical grant size is modest: the 25th percentile is $2,000, the median is $4,750, and the 75th percentile is $8,000. The recent record shows repeated awards to the same recipients over multiple years, especially for general support, which points to an ongoing relationship model rather than isolated project-only gifts. The foundation is structured as a family foundation, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. The data provided does not show an application process.
