LIFESS REQUITE INC concentrates its philanthropy almost entirely on a single education organization, repeatedly funding Academy Prep Foundation Inc. Its support appears focused on K–12 college-preparatory programming and student advancement in the local St. Petersburg area, delivered through multi-grant commitments to one core partner. The foundation’s pattern suggests a preference for targeted, long-term impact on student outcomes rather than broad, diversified giving.
Highly concentrated: all funding directed to a single grantee across multiple grants (repeat, sizable commitments rather than many small or one-off gifts).
Lifess Requite Inc has made Academy Prep Foundation Inc its dominant recipient, backing the St. Petersburg college-preparatory school with repeated general-support grants across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That long-running relationship is the clearest signal in the foundation’s record: instead of spreading gifts broadly, it concentrates on a small set of local institutions, with education at the center. The pattern also shows that the foundation is comfortable with large, multi-year commitments rather than isolated awards. Beyond Academy Prep Foundation Inc, the recent record includes support for other St. Petersburg organizations connected to schooling, culture, and community life, including Lift Academy, Shorecrest Preparatory School, and the Palladium at St Petersburg College. Several grants are labeled general support, which suggests flexibility for recipients to use funds where they are most needed. In the recent grants list, the single biggest award was $715,000 in 2025 to Academy Prep Foundation Inc, underscoring how heavily the foundation relies on one anchor partner while still funding a few additional local grantees.
Education is the foundation’s clearest priority. It gave $125,000 in 2025 to Lift Academy for general support, and it also supported Shorecrest Preparatory School with $70,000 in 2024 and another $70,000 in 2025. Those awards point to a sustained interest in K–12 programming and school operations. The foundation also supports cultural institutions in St. Petersburg. It granted $100,000 in 2025 to The Dali Museum for general support and another $100,000 in 2025 to The James Museum for general support, alongside a $50,000 grant in 2025 to the Museum of Fine Arts. In addition, it backed the Palladium at St Petersburg College with $100,000 in 2025. The record includes documentary support as well, with $190,000 in 2024 to Friends of Albert Whitted Airport and $100,000 in 2025 to the same organization.
Typical grants are sizable: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $20,000, and the 75th percentile is $50,000. The recent list also shows repeated awards to the same recipients across multiple years, especially in education and local institutions. That pattern points to ongoing relationship-based giving rather than one-off gifts. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Several grants are labeled general support, indicating a mix of unrestricted and core-support funding.
