Lee Charities Inc appears to be a small, locally focused funder that makes sizable, unrestricted grants to community organizations operating on the Gulf Coast. Their only recorded grant is a single $95,000 general-purpose award to The Sea Glass Initiative, suggesting interest in coastal stewardship and community-facing marine work in the Orange Beach/Alabama Gulf area. The foundation favors providing flexible support rather than project-restricted funding, at least in this instance.
Concentrated, one-off large grants to local organizations; provides general/unrestricted support rather than many small or highly restricted awards.
