Committed to helping veterans and individuals with disabilities receive resources needed to live healthy, productive and independent lives by providing financial support for medical equipment, assistive technology, service dogs, and access to adaptive sports programs and inclusive social activities in Palm Beach County.
Leeds Foundation Pbc Inc centers grantmaking on practical support that helps veterans and people with disabilities live more independently. The strongest pattern in the recent record is direct backing for access and equipment: grants have gone to service-dog training, medical equipment, assistive technology, adaptive sports, and inclusive social activities, with Palm Beach County as a recurring local focus and some nationwide support through active programs. A single grantee appears repeatedly at the top of the list. Diveheart Dba Thresher Aqua received $360,000 in 2024 and $90,000 in 2025 for access to diving, following an $80,600 grant in 2023. That repeated support signals a sustained relationship rather than a one-off award. Other recurring recipients also show continuity, including Tidal K9 Training LLC for service-dog training and Clinics Can Help for medical equipment. The foundation’s work is rooted in direct service: it funds programs and purchases that can be used right away by children, adults, and veterans with disabilities. Recent grants also extend to adaptive sports, nature-based activities for disabled adults, caregiver support, and character education for teens.
In accessibility and adaptive recreation, Leeds Foundation Pbc Inc supported Diveheart Dba Thresher Aqua with $360,000 in 2024 and another $90,000 in 2025 for access to diving. It also gave $15,000 to G4 Good Foundation in 2023 for access to diving. These grants sit alongside other recreation-oriented support for people with disabilities. For service animals, the foundation backed Tidal K9 Training LLC with $65,000 in 2023, $50,000 in 2024, and $25,000 in 2025 for training service dogs. Medical support is another clear theme: Clinics Can Help received $53,428 in 2023, $34,400 in 2024, and $26,753 in 2025 for medical equipment. The foundation also funded Shifting Gears United Inc for athletes with disability, including $40,000 in both 2024 and 2025, and Sea Turtle Adventures for nature-based programs for disabled adults, with grants of $30,000 in 2024, $25,000 in 2023, and $20,000 in 2025.
Typical grants cluster in the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $20,000, a median of $28,376, and a p75 of $47,500. The recent record shows repeat support across multiple years rather than isolated awards: Diveheart Dba Thresher Aqua, Tidal K9 Training LLC, Clinics Can Help, Shifting Gears United Inc, Sea Turtle Adventures, and American Assn of Caregiving Y all appear more than once. Grantmaking is project-specific and directed through active programs, with direct support for individuals and local services rather than program-related investments. Unsolicited applications are not accepted.
