The Beatitude Foundation makes a small number of large, targeted grants that blend local Tallahassee/Big Bend community institutions (healthcare and Catholic education) with at least one national philanthropic partner. Their giving shows a strong interest in healthcare and palliative services, support for Catholic secondary education, and strategic investments in organizations that advance philanthropic or programmatic initiatives. Grants are few but sizable, suggesting a preference for high-impact, concentrated awards rather than many small grants.
A $1.35 million grant to Virgin Unite USA stands out as the largest recent award from The Beatitude Foundation Inc and shows that the foundation’s portfolio includes both local Tallahassee institutions and national philanthropic partners. Most of its giving is concentrated in North Florida, but the recent grants also point to a selective mix of healthcare, Catholic education, human services, and affordable housing support. In Tallahassee, the foundation has backed CESC Inc, Big Bend Hospice Foundation, FSU College of Medicine, and John Paul II Catholic High School, suggesting a pattern of funding organizations tied to community care, clinical training, and Catholic secondary education. It has also supported Good News Outreach on affordable housing construction, Open Doors Women’s Clinic on family service programs, and United Way for program services. The grant list includes recurring support to some recipients across multiple years, alongside one-time awards to organizations outside Florida. That mix suggests a funder that makes targeted, often program-specific grants while keeping a strong local emphasis in its overall grantmaking.
Healthcare and clinical training appear repeatedly in the grant record. The Beatitude Foundation Inc gave $294,221 to FSU College of Medicine for program services in 2024, then added $97,867 and $88,722 in 2025 for the same purpose. It also awarded $250,000 to Big Bend Hospice Foundation for support, linking the foundation to palliative and hospice care in the Tallahassee area. Catholic education and faith-based support are another visible thread. In 2025, John Paul II Catholic High School received $150,000 for support, while Good Shepherd Catholic Church received $17,000 as a payment to Catholic Church and Brotherhood of Hope received $10,000 as a payment to Catholic Cathedral. Housing and family services also appear in the data. Good News Outreach received $50,000 in 2024 for construction of affordable housing and another $40,000 in 2025 for the same purpose, while Open Doors Women’s Clinic received $100,000 in 2024 for family service programs.
The typical grant size is small relative to the largest awards: p25 is $500, median is $1,000, and p75 is $9,750. That spread sits alongside several much larger grants, indicating a mixed portfolio of modest awards and a few substantial commitments. The foundation appears to make repeated grants to some organizations across years, including multiple payments to the same recipients in 2024 and 2025. It is a foundation, not a vehicle for individual giving, and it does not make program-related investments. The data do not show an application process.

Concentrated giving: very few but large grants, mixing local institutional support with occasional national philanthropic partnerships; appears to favor multi-thousand-dollar gifts to established organizations rather than many small awards.
Notable grantees: Virgin Unite USA, CESC Inc, FSU College of Medicine, Big Bend Hospice Foundation, John Paul II Catholic High School
The Beatitude Foundation Inc gives locally: 93% of grants go to recipients in Florida, and Florida is the top state by grant count.
