About Suncoast Credit Union Foundation
Suncoast Credit Union Foundation centers its giving on children’s education, health, and emotional well-being, with much of its recent work flowing through school districts, education foundations, and child-focused nonprofits across Florida. The foundation’s scholarships also stand out: the Suncoast Scholars Program provides $2,000 awards to high school seniors who live in Suncoast service counties and show financial need, leadership, and academic performance. That mix of broad institutional support and direct student aid runs through the recent record. Suncoast Credit Union Foundation funded The School District of Lee County for annual support, backed Hillsborough County Public Schools, and provided annual funding to Champions for Learning. It also supported children’s mental health through Lee Memorial Health Systems Foundation’s Mental Health Navigator and disaster recovery through The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools’ Hurricane Relief Fund 2022-2023. The foundation’s grantmaking extends into arts and enrichment as well. Hillsborough Education Foundation received support for Kids Tag Art and arts-and-writing activity, while Pasco Education Foundation was funded for summer learning and District School Board of Pasco County for magnet programs. Across these examples, the pattern is consistent: child-centered funding with a strong emphasis on education systems and community-based youth services.

In K-12 education, Suncoast Credit Union Foundation gave $556,800 to The School District of Lee County for annual funding and $445,721 to Hillsborough County Public Schools for 2023-2024 funding.

Scholarships are another clear thread. The Suncoast Scholars Program provides $2,000 scholarships to high school seniors, and the foundation also gave $179,575 to Consortium of Florida Education Foundations Inc for the 2023-2024 Scholars Program. Child health and mental well-being appear in direct-service grants as well. The foundation awarded $383,513 to Lee Memorial Health Systems Foundation for Mental Health Navigator, and it made a separate $250,000 grant to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Foundation Inc for naming recognition. Community support includes relief-oriented funding too, such as $300,500 to The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools for Hurricane Relief Fund 2022-2023.
