The Oakes Family Foundation makes small, targeted gifts focused almost entirely on postsecondary scholarships. Its recent grants support scholarship funds at a mix of selective private institutions and a major public flagship, suggesting an interest in enabling individual student access to college rather than funding broad programmatic initiatives. The foundation's overall giving is modest and concentrated in higher education.
Very small number of modest, one-off scholarship grants concentrated in higher education; no evidence of multi-year commitments or broad geographic focus despite Miami Beach headquarters.
