The Mr & Mrs Wayne B Lyon Foundation concentrates its giving on direct community services—primarily primary care clinics and K–12 independent schools—providing both operating support and capital/campaign gifts. Grants skew toward local Florida health providers and school campuses (including scholarship and capital support), while also making targeted gifts to select independent educational institutions. A smaller but distinct interest is menstrual equity/period supplies in Southwest Florida.

A small number of mid-sized grants focused primarily on health and education; support is concentrated (repeat funding for clinics and multiple campus schools) and mixes operating grants with one-time capital/campaign gifts. Most giving appears locally focused in SWFL but includes selective out-of-area educational capital support.
