About Baker and Emily Mayfield Foundation
The Baker and Emily Mayfield Foundation concentrates funding on young children and family supports, with particularly large investments in early learning coalitions. They also support community resilience and youth-focused activities — including disaster response/ veterans relief and grassroots youth sports — and make occasional faith-based and diaper-bank grants that address basic family needs.

Giving Approach
Concentrated giving to a small number of direct-service organizations: a few large grants (top two grantees account for the majority of dollars) combined with several modest gifts. Mix of repeat-style investments in early learning infrastructure and one-off support for community organizations.
About Baker and Emily Mayfield Foundation
The Baker And Emily Mayfield Foundation’s largest recent grant went to an early learning coalition in Port Charlotte, signaling a clear emphasis on young children and family supports. Its recent grants also show a second, related pattern: flexible general-purpose funding for direct-service groups that work with families, youth, and community needs. The foundation’s giving is modest in number but concentrated in sizable awards, with grants ranging from early childhood coalitions to disaster response, youth sports, faith-based ministries, and basic-needs organizations. Early childhood education stands out as a core area. In addition to the Port Charlotte award, the foundation gave a general support grant to the Early Learning Coalition of Hillsborough County in Tampa, reinforcing a county-level approach to early learning. Beyond that, the foundation supports organizations addressing practical needs and local resilience, including a diaper bank in Pinellas Park, a veterans- and disaster-response nonprofit in Los Angeles, and youth football and family-serving groups in Tampa and Cocoa. The recent record points to a funder that favors direct service over advocacy and uses general-purpose support as a common grantmaking tool.
What Baker and Emily Mayfield Foundation Funds
Early childhood education is the clearest theme in the foundation’s recent grantmaking. It gave $56,265 to the Early Learning Coalition of Hillsborough County in Tampa for general support, following a larger $111,551 grant to Early Learning Coalition in Port Charlotte for general purpose. Both awards point to county-level early learning infrastructure rather than a single program. Basic family support appears in a $10,000 grant to Babycyle Diaper Bank in Pinellas Park for general purpose, aligning with material assistance for households with infants. Community youth activity is also present: the foundation awarded $17,900 to Space Coast Vipers Football in Cocoa for general purpose, showing interest in local sports programming. Its broader community support includes a $50,000 grant to Team Rubicon in Los Angeles for general purpose, indicating backing for disaster response and veteran-led emergency service.
How Baker and Emily Mayfield Foundation Gives
The foundation’s typical grant size sits in the mid-five-figure range: the 25th percentile is $17,816, the median is $30,632, and the 75th percentile is $43,449. Recent awards show a mix of larger anchor grants and smaller community grants, with general-purpose support appearing repeatedly across recipients. The 2024 and 2025 records suggest continued grantmaking across years rather than a single one-off cycle. The foundation is a private family foundation, and the recent grants use flexible support language such as general purpose, general support, and unrestricted-style funding.
