The foundation makes very large, targeted gifts to a small number of institutions, favoring project-specific support. Recent grants show a strong interest in backing a single independent day school (repeated, sizable gifts) and in funding a behavioral health/addiction treatment organization, both operating in Florida.
Highly concentrated giving: only three grants totaling $1.7M, including repeat, large gifts to the same school and another single large grant; prefers sizable, project-designated support rather than many small awards.
A $700,000 project-designated grant to Hanley Center Foundation Inc. stands out in the Stacy and Keith Palagye Foundation’s recent giving, which pairs large institutional gifts with repeated support for a small set of recipients. The foundation’s recent pattern includes multiple six-figure awards to Palm Beach Day Academy, Lord’s Place, and Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County, indicating a preference for concentrated, project-based philanthropy rather than broad small-grant dispersion. Its portfolio mixes project support, general operating support, and program support, with grants often recurring across years to the same organizations. Florida institutions appear frequently in the recent grants list, especially in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach, but the foundation also backs organizations outside Florida, including New Israel Fund, American Friends of the Hebrew University, Doctors Without Borders USA Inc, Tulane University, and American Jewish World Service. The result is a grantmaking profile that is selective in recipient count but substantial in individual award size. The foundation also shows continuity in its relationships: some grantees receive multiple awards in different years, and several receive more than one type of support. That combination of repeated funding and mixed restriction types suggests a funder that sustains long-running institutional priorities while using project-specific grants for targeted needs.
In education, the Stacy and Keith Palagye Foundation gave $500,000 in 2024 and another $500,000 in 2023 to Palm Beach Day Academy for project support and project designated support. That repeated backing signals a sustained institutional commitment rather than a one-off award. In behavioral health and addiction treatment, the foundation made a $700,000 project-designated grant in 2025 to Hanley Center Foundation Inc and also gave the organization $75,000 in 2024 as general operating support. The pairing of project and operating support shows flexibility within a single relationship. The foundation also supports Jewish and Israel-related institutions. Recent grants include $300,000 and $250,000 in 2024 to New Israel Fund, plus $250,000 in 2025 and $100,000 in 2024 and 2025 to Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County. Those awards point to an area of giving that recurs across multiple years and structures.

The foundation uses a mixed portfolio of project-designated support, general operating support, and program support. It funds individuals: False, and it makes program-related investments: False.
Grantmaking is national, but the center of gravity is Florida.
