Oakstone Foundation makes moderately sized, locally focused gifts in Central Florida, combining support for faith-based ministry, community philanthropy, and health and animal welfare programs. They give both unrestricted/field-building dollars through the Central Florida Foundation and direct program support to hospitals, animal welfare groups, and a local Presbyterian church, suggesting a blend of community infrastructure and faith-driven giving. Grants tend to be purposeful and place-based rather than national or issue-agnostic.
Oakstone Foundation Inc’s recent giving is anchored by a recurring relationship with Central Florida Foundation, including a $45,000 grant in 2024 and a $30,000 grant in 2025 to support its fund management and giving-advice role. That pattern points to a foundation that uses local intermediaries as part of its charitable strategy, alongside direct grants to service providers in health, faith, and animal welfare. The portfolio also shows repeated support for First Presbyterian Church in Lakeland, with grants of $25,000 in 2023, $25,000 in 2024, and $25,000 in 2025, tied to discipleship and church-based ministry. Health-related gifts extend to Lakeland Regional Health Foundation, Advent Health Foundation, Orlando Health Foundation, and Grace Medical Home, while animal welfare support appears through Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando and Franklins Friends. The overall picture is of a locally focused funder making purposeful grants to Central Florida organizations, combining infrastructure support, congregational giving, healthcare access, and community animal services. Annual grants of $320,000 and total assets of $1,821,328 place the foundation at a modest scale relative to larger institutional funders.
A major thread in Oakstone Foundation Inc’s grantmaking is healthcare access. In 2023, they gave $30,000 to Lakeland Regional Health Foundation for the Pavilion for Women & Children campaign, and in 2025 they gave $5,000 for a pediatric hospital emergency department. They also supported Advent Health Foundation with $25,000 in 2025 and $10,000 in 2024 and 2023 to expand community healthcare. Another clear area is care for underserved patients: Grace Medical Home received $10,000 in 2023, $5,000 in 2024, and $5,000 in 2025 for quality care and access for overlooked and underserved patients. Faith-based ministry is another consistent theme, shown by repeated grants to First Presbyterian Church in Lakeland for discipleship work. Animal welfare appears through support for Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando and Franklins Friends, including a community cat program and broader shelter, rescue, and spay/neuter efforts.
Typical grant size falls at $5,000 at the 25th percentile, $10,000 at the median, and $25,000 at the 75th percentile, showing a mix of modest operating-style gifts and larger anchor grants. The foundation’s recent record also shows repetition: Central Florida Foundation appears in both 2024 and 2025, First Presbyterian Church in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Grace Medical Home across three years as well. Grants are direct rather than via program-related investments, and the foundation also funds individuals. The visible pattern is steady, place-based support rather than one-off national philanthropy.
