Ensuring the continuity of Jewish life & culture locally, in Israel & around the world by convening collective action, identifying and helping the most vulnerable, addressing security needs in our Jewish community, and combatting antisemitism.
A recurring pattern in the Jewish Federation of Pinellas and Pasco Counties FL Inc’s recent giving is multi-year support for Gulfcoast Jewish Family Services, which received $165,000 in 2023 and again in 2025, plus $131,000 in 2024. That continuity sits alongside larger federation-to-federation commitments, including $181,891 to Jewish Federations of North America in 2023 and $90,336 in 2025. The portfolio points to an organization funding Jewish community infrastructure rather than single-purpose projects: the same grantees appear across years, and awards range from smaller local support grants to six-figure allocations. Recent grants also show support for Jewish communal services, education-linked institutions, and Holocaust remembrance in the federation’s regional footprint. Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Brooklyn, and New York all appear among recipients, but the structure of the giving indicates a strong emphasis on maintaining Jewish life locally while also supporting broader Jewish networks. The federation’s stated purpose is to ensure the continuity of Jewish life and culture locally, in Israel, and around the world by convening collective action, identifying and helping the most vulnerable, addressing security needs, and combatting antisemitism.
In Jewish community services, the federation backed Gulfcoast Jewish Family Services with $131,000 in 2024 and $165,000 in both 2023 and 2025 for support programming. That same service-oriented approach appears in local institutions such as Menorah Manor, which received $25,000 in 2025 after prior support of $16,948 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024. For Jewish education and youth, Hillels of Florida Suncoast received $20,000 in 2023 and 2024, followed by $25,000 in 2025. The federation also funded a scholarship application through its Covenant Fund / Scholarship Application program for families in Pinellas County, Pasco County, and Florida’s Gulf Coast. In Israel-related giving, American Friends Leket Israel received $10,000 in 2025 for support programming.
Typical grant size centers on a median of $20,000, with a lower quartile of $13,000 and an upper quartile of $76,106. The recent record includes both repeated annual awards and one-time grants, suggesting a mix of continuing institutional support and selective larger commitments. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Gulfcoast Jewish Family Services, Jewish Federations of North America, Jewish Press, Hillels of Florida Suncoast, Menorah Manor, and Florida Holocaust Museum. The foundation also uses scholarship applications through its Covenant Fund. Its grants are program-specific and support direct service or program implementation.
