Shey Charitable Foundation concentrates its giving on higher education in North Central Florida, directing nearly all of its recent dollars to institutional endowments and general charitable support for colleges. The foundation makes a small number of relatively large gifts, with a dominant emphasis on the University of Florida and local Santa Fe College. Its funding appears place-based and education-focused rather than broadly diversified across causes.
