The Stoops Family Foundation concentrates its giving on a small set of regional nonprofits and higher-education programs that serve vulnerable children and families, especially in Florida. Large, repeat grants fund autism services, family/domestic-violence support, behavioral health initiatives, and university centers focused on law and social work practice. The foundation tends to make few but sizable awards to organizations where it can have sustained impact rather than many small, one-off gifts.
Concentrated giving: a handful of large, repeated grants to the same regional organizations and university centers rather than broad, small-dollar distribution. Mix of direct service nonprofits and academic institutions, indicating interest in both frontline services and programmatic/academic partnerships.
A defining feature of Stoops Family Foundation’s recent giving is its repeated support for a small set of Florida nonprofits, with large awards going year after year to HomeSafe in Lake Worth and Els for Autism Foundation in Jupiter. The pattern points to a foundation that favors sustained relationships over a broad, dispersed portfolio. Its grants also reach higher education and service infrastructure, including Florida State University’s College of Law and School of Social Work Center for Families, both in Tallahassee, alongside local organizations serving children, families, and people facing behavioral health or housing instability. The foundation’s recent grants show a strong focus on family safety, autism services, and legal and social-work programs. It has also backed health and residential support providers such as Quantum House, Boca Raton Regional Hospital, Place of Hope, and The Lord’s Place. In the current grant list, several organizations appear across multiple years, indicating repeat funding rather than isolated awards. The overall picture is of a Florida-centered funder making substantial, targeted grants where the same institutions can receive support in consecutive years.
In family-safety work, Stoops Family Foundation gave $565,500 in 2023, $560,500 in 2024, and $550,500 in 2025 to HomeSafe in Lake Worth. That three-year pattern stands out as the clearest example of recurring support in the grant list. Autism services are another major thread. The foundation awarded $506,600 in 2024 and $505,000 in 2025 to Els for Autism Foundation in Jupiter, following a $500,000 grant in 2023. Higher-education and professional-training programs also appear in the list. Florida State University College of Law received $380,000 in 2023 and $215,000 in 2025, while the FSU School of Social Work Center for Families received $250,000 in 2023 and $105,000 in 2024. Behavioral health support is represented by Hanley Foundation in West Palm Beach, which appears with grants of $251,000 in 2023, $200,000 in 2024, and $200,000 in 2025.
Typical grant size centers on a mid-sized to large-award profile: the 25th percentile is $5,000, the median is $30,000, and the 75th percentile is $100,000. The recent grant list shows a smaller number of much larger awards layered over a broad base of modest gifts. Recurring support is a clear feature: several recipients appear in multiple years, including HomeSafe, Els for Autism Foundation, Florida State University College of Law, Hanley Foundation, and Quantum House. The foundation is a family foundation, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
