Our mission is to enhance the health and wellness of individuals and communities in Brevard County, Florida.
Space Coast Health Foundation Inc centers its grantmaking on Brevard County health and wellness, with a clear pattern of large support for primary care access. The biggest recent award in the data is $604,260 to Brevard Health Alliance in Melbourne for primary health access, followed by a $248,516 grant to the same organization in the prior year. That repeated support points to a funder that backs service delivery over time rather than spreading dollars thinly across many unrelated causes. Its portfolio also includes smaller, program-specific grants tied to local needs such as mental health, child health care, sexual assault survivor support, and homelessness services. Recent awards to Promise Inc, Daily Bread, South Brevard Women's Center, The Children's Hunger Project, and Scott Center for Autism show that the foundation funds community organizations working directly with residents facing health equity barriers. The foundation’s mission statement is to enhance the health and wellness of individuals and communities in Brevard County, Florida, and the recent grants align closely with that local mandate.
Primary care access is the clearest funding lane in the recent grants. In 2024, Space Coast Health Foundation Inc gave $604,260 to Brevard Health Alliance in Melbourne for primary health access, after a $248,516 grant to the same organization in 2023. The foundation also supports direct-service responses to community needs. It gave $20,000 to Promise Inc in Melbourne for mental health services and $20,000 to Daily Bread in Melbourne for homelessness support. Food security appears in the grant list as well: The Children's Hunger Project in Cocoa received $20,000 for child hunger support. Health equity and capacity-building support are also present. St Petersburg College received $25,381 for health equity support, and The Corley Company received grants for nonprofit group support in both 2023 and 2024.
The typical grant size clusters in the low tens of thousands: p25 is $20,000, median is $22,690, and p75 is $56,003. That distribution sits alongside a few much larger awards, including the two-year support to Brevard Health Alliance and separate multi-organization healthcare grants. The pattern suggests a mix of anchor grants and smaller program awards. Grant records also show repeat funding to the same recipient across years, most clearly for Brevard Health Alliance and The Corley Company. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its active programs include both competitive and invitation-only grantmaking, plus an unsolicited idea intake channel and in-kind meeting space support.
