About Klorfine Foundation
A defining feature of Klorfine Foundation is its repeated support for public broadcasting, including a $500,000 unrestricted grant to South Florida PBS in 2025 and multiple large awards to WETA PBS News Hour across 2023 through 2025. That pattern sits alongside substantial giving to arts organizations and health-related institutions, showing a portfolio built around a few recurring institutional partners rather than scattered one-off gifts. The foundation’s grants are unrestricted in the recent list, which signals a preference for flexible support. Arts funding is visible in its backing of performing and visual arts groups such as Palm Beach Symphony, Museum of Glass, Pilchuck Glass School, Artist Trust, Seattle Symphony Foundation, and Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. On the health and humanitarian side, recent gifts include Overlake Medical Center Foundation, Jupiter Medical Center Foundation, Virginia Mason Foundation, Medic One Foundation, and the American Red Cross. Environmental support also appears through Loggerhead Marinelife Center. Across these areas, the foundation favors established nonprofits with operating capacity and public-facing missions.
