The L6 Foundation concentrates its giving on local, direct-service nonprofits in the Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg area, with the majority of grants providing unrestricted/general operating support. Its two dominant funding lines are hunger relief and direct support for military veterans and their families, delivered through repeated, sizable gifts to the same organizations. The foundation appears to favor a small number of trusted partners rather than broad, exploratory funding across many groups.
Concentrated and repetitive: a small number of relatively large general‑support grants, split primarily between two repeat grantees, indicating long‑term partnerships and a strong local geographic focus.
L6 Foundation c/o Renee Leary’s recent giving is anchored by repeated general-fund support for Feeding Tampa Bay, which received $25,000 in both 2024 and 2025 and $20,000 in 2024. That pattern fits a foundation that backs a small set of direct-service nonprofits with recurring, unrestricted grants rather than one-off awards. In the same stream, Help Our Military Heroes received $20,000 in 2023 and $17,000 in both 2024 and 2025, showing a parallel commitment to military veterans and their families. The foundation’s portfolio also includes support for local service providers such as Boley Centers Inc, New Life Village, and The Harbor Dish Inc, along with community organizations in Connecticut, New York, Georgia, California, and Florida. Most grants are labeled General Fund or General Fund, suggesting flexibility in how recipients use the money. Across the latest grants list, the foundation appears to favor established organizations that deliver food assistance, housing-related support, and direct services, with repeated awards to the same partners over multiple years.
Hunger relief is a central theme. Feeding Tampa Bay received three grants in the recent record: $25,000 in 2025, $20,000 in 2024, and $25,000 in 2023, all for general support. The foundation also backed The Harbor Dish Inc with $4,000 in 2025 and New Life Village with $2,000 in 2025, both in the Tampa Bay area. Military support is the other clear line of giving. Help Our Military Heroes was awarded $20,000 in 2023, $17,000 in 2024, and $17,000 in 2025. Community-serving organizations also appear in the portfolio, including Metro Inclusive Health Metropolitan Charities, which received $3,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Outside Florida, the foundation made general-fund grants to Fellowship Place in New Haven and Community Dining Room in Branford, showing interest in direct-service groups beyond its local region.
Typical grants are modest: the p25 is $2,500, the median is $3,500, and the p75 is $7,500. The recent record shows a mix of repeated support and smaller one-time awards. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including Feeding Tampa Bay, Help Our Military Heroes, Fellowship Place, Metro Inclusive Health Metropolitan Charities, Team Red White and Blue, and Community Dining Room. The foundation gives through general-fund or general operating support, and the profile indicates it does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The pattern suggests grantmaking through direct awards to nonprofits rather than through an application-based public program.
