The McCune Family Foundation directs virtually all of its recorded giving to a single youth-focused charity — Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches — funding facility needs and capital projects. Its grants support infrastructure for residential/at‑risk youth services affiliated with sheriff’s offices, and the foundation appears to be an out‑of‑state supporter (Chicago-based funder giving to Florida programs).
Highly concentrated: all recorded grants go to one repeat grantee, relatively large amounts directed toward capital/facility needs rather than many small or diverse recipients.
The clearest pattern in Mccune Family Foundation Under Agreement’s recent giving is its repeated support for Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches Inc in Boys Ranch, Florida, including multiple roof-focused grants across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That recurring project line points to a funder that prioritizes facility needs for residential youth services rather than broad, multi-issue grantmaking. The foundation’s recorded awards are concentrated in youth-serving organizations tied to housing, safety, and campus infrastructure, with several grants labeled “general” or “general support” and others tied to specific capital or maintenance needs. Beyond the ranches, the foundation has funded a cluster of organizations serving children, families, and at-risk youth in Florida and Georgia. Recent grantees include Wellspring Living Inc in Tyrone, Create Your Dreams Inc in Atlanta, and Academy Prep Center of Tampa Inc in Tampa. The recipient list also includes Florida Center for Early Childhood in Sarasota, Forty Carrots Family Center in Sarasota, and Child Protection Center Inc in Sarasota, suggesting a consistent interest in youth and family support organizations. Taken together, the grant record shows a foundation that backs nonprofit programs and facilities serving vulnerable young people, often through unrestricted or project-specific support.
Facility and capital support is central to the foundation’s work. In 2024, it gave $100,000 to Florida Center for Early Childhood in Sarasota for general support, and it backed Forty Carrots Family Center in Sarasota with $100,000 in 2024 and $80,000 in 2025. The foundation also supports residential and protection-oriented services. Child Protection Center Inc in Sarasota received $100,000 in 2023, $90,000 in 2024, and $90,000 in 2025, all listed as general or general support. Help 2 Home Home Village in Bradenton received $90,000 in both 2024 and 2025. Education and youth development appear as another thread. Academy Prep Center of Tampa Inc received $100,000 in 2024 and again in 2025, while Create Your Dreams Inc in Atlanta received $125,000 in 2023, $100,000 in 2024, and $100,000 in 2025.
Typical grants cluster at a meaningful mid-six-figure scale: the 25th percentile is $30,000, the median is $50,000, and the 75th percentile is $80,000. The record also includes repeated $100,000 awards and several larger one-off grants above $200,000. Grantmaking is highly recurrent rather than scattered; the same recipients appear across multiple years, especially Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches Inc, Create Your Dreams Inc, Wellspring Living Inc, Academy Prep Center of Tampa Inc, and Child Protection Center Inc. The foundation is organized as a family foundation under agreement, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. The grants list shows project-agnostic “general” and “general support” awards alongside some project-specific capital support.
