About Lokey Charities
Lokey Charities Inc’s recent giving shows a clear pattern: it concentrates on children, youth, and family support through community-based programs in the Greater Tampa Bay Area. Two of the largest grants went to Skycrest Community Church for its Community Partnership Program, with awards of $30,000 in 2024 and $27,500 in 2025. That recurring support signals a sustained relationship with a local partner rather than isolated, one-time gifts. The foundation also backs programs that help families in specific situations, including the All Pro Dads and iMOM programs at Family First, shelter services at the Homeless Empowerment Program, and hospice care through Empath Health. Other grants support children in foster care, after-school activities, youth ministry, and basic needs such as food, rent, and utilities. A second theme is practical help for children with higher needs. Lokey Charities Inc funded Wheelchairs 4 Kids for wheelchairs and medical equipment for children, and Folds of Honor Foundation for children’s education related to disabled military personnel. The overall pattern is local, program-specific grantmaking tied to direct service.
What Lokey Charities Funds
Children and youth services sit at the center of the foundation’s grantmaking. Lokey Charities Inc gave $15,000 in 2025 to Family First for the All Pro Dads and iMOM programs, and it also supported Cornerstone Ministries with $6,000 in 2024 and $5,500 in 2025 for youth ministry. Housing and shelter is another clear area. The Homeless Empowerment Program received $10,000 in both 2024 and 2025 for homeless shelter programs, showing continued support for shelter-based services. The foundation also funds family stabilization and child-focused support. It gave $5,000 in 2024 to A Kids Place of Tampa Bay for children in foster care and $5,000 in 2024 to New Life Warehouse for new families in the area. In health-related work, Empath Health received $10,000 in 2025 for hospice care, specialized programs, and integrative medicine for patients and families in Pinellas County.
How Lokey Charities Gives
Lokey Charities Inc’s typical grants cluster in the mid-thousands, with a p25 of $5,000, a median of $7,500, and a p75 of $10,000. The recent record includes several repeat awards across two years, such as support for the same local church partnership program in 2024 and 2025, along with repeated funding for shelter, foster care, and youth-service grantees. The pattern points to program-specific support rather than unrestricted awards. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
