The Jane Beasley Foundation concentrates its giving exclusively on higher education, providing general/unrestricted support to a single institution. All recorded grants (two awards totaling $175,000) went to the Troy University Foundation, indicating a targeted, relationship-driven philanthropic focus rather than broad-based funding across causes or geographies.
Highly concentrated: all funding directed to one recurring grantee (Troy University Foundation), moderate-sized awards, repeat support rather than many small or diversified grants.
The Jane Beasley Foundation’s giving is anchored by a single long-running relationship with Troy University Foundation: two of its largest recorded grants, $100,000 in 2023 and $75,000 in 2025, both went there for general support. That pattern points to a funder that has favored unrestricted institutional funding over program-specific awards. Beyond that core relationship, the foundation also makes smaller general grants to a limited set of arts, education, and community organizations. Recent recipients include Diocese of Palm Beach, Inner City Scholarship Fund, The Metropolitan Opera, West Palm Beach Library Foundation, and Dreyfoos School of the Arts. The foundation’s grant history shows repeated support to many of the same organizations across 2023 and 2025, which suggests continuity rather than one-off gifting. Most awards cluster at modest levels, with a handful of larger gifts standing out against a broader base of $1,000 and $2,500 grants. Its recipient list also includes institutions in Florida, New York, and Nantucket, indicating a regional footprint with a concentrated core and some broader cultural and community support.
Higher education is the clearest focus. The foundation gave $75,000 in 2025 to Troy University Foundation for general support, following a $100,000 award in 2023 for the same purpose. In arts and culture, it supported The Metropolitan Opera with $5,000 in 2023 and $2,500 in 2025, plus a $1,000 grant to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in both 2023 and 2025. Community-oriented giving appears in support for Inner City Scholarship Fund with $5,000 in both 2023 and 2025, and Planned Parenthood Federation of America received a $1,000 grant in 2025. The foundation also backed local civic and cultural institutions such as West Palm Beach Library Foundation, Dreyfoos School of the Arts, Norton Museum of Art, and Palm Beach Opera Guild.
Typical grants are small: the p25, median, and p75 amounts are $1,000, $1,000, and $2,500. That pattern sits alongside a few much larger awards, showing a mix of baseline gifts and major institutional support. The grant list also shows repeat recipients across 2023 and 2025, especially Troy University Foundation, Inner City Scholarship Fund, The Metropolitan Opera, and several Florida and Nantucket organizations. The foundation is a private grantmaker with a regional scope, not an operating program, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
