To promote philanthropy, manage enduring investments, and conduct impactful grant-making to improve the lives of LGBTQ people in South Florida.
A defining feature of Our Fund Foundation Inc is its repeated support for LGBTQ-serving institutions in South Florida through unrestricted operating grants. The largest recent award in the data went to Sunshine Cathedral Foundation in Fort Lauderdale, and that same organization appears again in the current grant set, showing an ongoing relationship rather than a one-off gift. The foundation also backs legal and advocacy work: Lambda Legal receives multiple grants across 2023 through 2025, with awards above $100,000 in each year listed. The grant record points to a funder that supports both direct services and community infrastructure. Holy Cross Hospital appears in the recent grants table with support in consecutive years, while Stonewall National Museum and Archives and Island City Stage also receive repeat funding. Other recipients include Aids Healthcare Foundation Fbo Sunserve, Sage, Equality Florida Institute Inc, The Film Collaborative Inc, and Black Lgbtq Liberation LLC. Across these grants, the pattern is general operating support rather than project-specific awards. The foundation’s stated purpose is to promote philanthropy, manage enduring investments, and make grantmaking that improves the lives of LGBTQ people in South Florida.
Health and wellness is one of the clearest themes in the grant record. The foundation gave $168,000 in 2025 to Holy Cross Hospital and also supported Aids Healthcare Foundation Fbo Sunserve with $166,193 in 2024. Its active Health & Wellness Fund covers health equity, HIV/AIDS services, mental health, addiction services, and healthcare access for LGBTQ people in South Florida. Social justice and civil rights show up through both direct and advocacy-oriented grants. Lambda Legal received $255,034 in 2025, alongside earlier awards in 2024 and 2023, while Equality Florida Institute Inc received $110,400 in 2025. The active LGBTQ Social Justice & Equity Fund is aimed at LGBTQ inclusion, acceptance, and anti-discrimination protections in Broward County and the broader South Florida region. Arts and culture also appear as a funding lane. Stonewall National Museum and Archives received $124,120 in 2025, and The Film Collaborative Inc received $100,000 in 2025. The LGBTQ Arts & Culture Fund supports organizations that amplify LGBTQ voices and preserve LGBTQ stories.

Typical grants cluster around a mid-sized operating-support range: the 25th percentile is $12,175, the median is $21,125, and the 75th percentile is $41,425. The recent grants table shows a much larger set of strategic awards layered on top of that baseline, including repeated support to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025. This is a regular funder, not a DAF and not a program-related-investment vehicle. Unsolicited applications are accepted in several active programs, including the topical Apply for Grants categories and the LGBTQ Social Justice & Equity Fund, while some targeted initiatives do not accept unsolicited requests.
Grantmaking is overwhelmingly U.S.-based, and 68% of grants go to recipients in Florida. Within the recent grants list, Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors appear often, reflecting the foundation’s South Florida focus. Other recipient locations include New York, St. Petersburg, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, and Chicago. Outside Florida, New York is a recurring destination for advocacy and cultural grantees, while California appears through San Francisco and Los Angeles recipients.
The foundation supports LGBTQ-serving organizations and related infrastructure in South Florida. Recent grants include operating support for Sunshine Cathedral Foundation, Holy Cross Hospital, Lambda Legal, Stonewall National Museum and Archives, Equality Florida Institute Inc, and Island City Stage.
