About Society of St Vincent de Paul South Pinellas
Society of St Vincent De Paul South Pinellas Inc directs its giving toward housing instability and related human services through program services grants to local nonprofit providers. In 2025, its largest recent award went to Boley Centers for $362,556, followed by $230,609 to Homeless Leadership Alliance of Pinellas, both in St Petersburg. That pattern points to a funder supporting organizations already delivering services in the community rather than funding individuals or investments. The foundation’s grantmaking also reaches regional partners working on homelessness, hunger prevention, and veteran support, with awards to coalitions and service networks across Florida cities. Its stated focus areas include homelessness prevention and services, rapid re-housing, permanent supportive housing, veteran services, food programs and hunger prevention, legal services for veterans, social enterprise, and planned giving or legacy gifts. The organization describes its mission as transforming lives through love and service. Its recent grant activity shows that mission expressed through recurring operating-style support for nonprofit implementers, especially those serving people facing housing insecurity and food access needs.
What Society of St Vincent de Paul South Pinellas Funds
Housing stability is the clearest throughline in the foundation’s recent awards. It gave $135,635 to Collier County Hunger & Homeless Coaliton for program services, and $88,207 to Coalition for the Homeless of Pasco County for the same purpose. Those grants fit its stated emphasis on homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing, and permanent supportive housing. Food access is another visible area of support. A $54,717 grant to Gulf Coast Partnership Inc was listed for program services, aligning with the foundation’s focus on food programs and hunger prevention. Veteran-related work also appears in the stated focus areas, including veteran services and legal services for veterans. The foundation’s program services support suggests it funds nonprofits that deliver these services directly, rather than individuals.
How Society of St Vincent de Paul South Pinellas Gives
Typical awards cluster in the mid-five-figure to low-six-figure range: p25 is $73,775, median grant size is $86,592, and p75 is $159,378. The 2025 list shows several grants above the median, including a $362,556 award and a $230,609 award, alongside smaller program services grants. The pattern is local and concentrated: 100% of grants go to recipients in Florida, and all listed recipients are US-based. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its recent grants point to project-based program support for nonprofit implementers rather than one-time gifts to private recipients.
