The Corbett Family Charitable Foundation concentrates philanthropic support exclusively in the arts and culture sector, making a handful of very large gifts to cultural institutions and university arts programs. Their giving is dominated by repeat, high-value grants to the University of Notre Dame and to the Tampa Museum of Art, indicating a preference for well-established museums and higher-education arts initiatives. The foundation appears to favor unrestricted or general “support” awards that can underwrite institutional capacity or major projects.
Very concentrated giving: only five grants total, large dollar amounts, repeat grantees (Notre Dame and Tampa Museum of Art), focused solely on arts/culture rather than diversified causes.
A defining feature of The Corbett Family Charitable Foundation Inc is its repeated large support for arts and culture institutions, especially the University of Notre Dame and the Tampa Museum of Art. The foundation’s recent gifts show a preference for institutional awards that can underwrite broad needs rather than tightly scoped program grants. In 2025, it gave $2,500,000 to University of Notre Dame for support and $1,000,000 to Tampa Museum of Art for support; in earlier years, those relationships also appear at $2,500,000 and $1,700,000 for Notre Dame and $2,000,000 for the museum. That pattern points to a funder that works at the scale of major cultural and higher-education investments. Beyond those anchor institutions, the portfolio extends to arts-related and community-serving groups such as Red Hook Art Project, Developing Artists Theater Company, and Church of Inspiratia, indicating that the foundation’s arts focus is not limited to one city or one type of institution. Its awards also include “org support” and “support” designations, suggesting flexible institutional funding rather than highly restricted project grants.
Arts and culture are the foundation’s central theme. It gave $2,500,000 to University of Notre Dame for support in 2025 and another $1,700,000 to the university in 2024, showing sustained backing for higher-education arts and humanities work. It also supported Tampa Museum of Art with $2,000,000 in 2024 and $1,000,000 in 2025, underscoring a second major institutional relationship in visual arts. Smaller awards point to a broader set of cultural and educational interests: Red Hook Art Project received $30,000 in 2025 for support, and Developing Artists Theater Company received $27,500 in 2025 for support. The foundation also funded Khan Academy Inc with $50,000 in 2024 and again in 2023 for org support, alongside other educational and community-oriented organizations.
Typical grants cluster in the low tens of thousands, with a p25 of $10,000, a median of $15,000, and a p75 of $37,500. At the same time, the foundation makes a small number of much larger awards, including multimillion-dollar support grants to major institutions. The recent record shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, especially the University of Notre Dame, Tampa Museum of Art, Khan Academy Inc, Lake Delaware Boys Camp, Charlotte Country Day School, Developing Artists Theater Company, Red Hook Art Project, and Church of Inspiratia. The pattern is consistent with institutional, often general support funding rather than individual giving or program-related investments.

The foundation gives nationally, and every recent grant listed is to a U.S. recipient. Florida appears most often in the recent grants, led by Tampa and other in-state recipients such as Monticello and the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay. Other recurring places include Notre Dame, Indiana; New York, New York; San Francisco, California; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Santa Barbara, California. Although the headquarters is in Tampa, most grants go outside the HQ city, with only 5% of grants landing in Florida.
Its recent grantmaking is concentrated in arts and culture, especially museums, university arts and humanities programs, theater, and arts-focused organizations. The portfolio also includes a few education and community-serving nonprofits, but the dominant pattern is institutional support for cultural organizations and higher-education arts programs.
The foundation’s p25 is $10,000, its median grant is $15,000, and its p75 is $37,500. That said, the recent record also includes much larger institutional awards, including multimillion-dollar grants to major recipients.
Yes. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including the University of Notre Dame, Tampa Museum of Art, Khan Academy Inc, Lake Delaware Boys Camp, Charlotte Country Day School, Developing Artists Theater Company, Red Hook Art Project, and Church of Inspiratia. The pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts only.
The foundation gives nationally, with all recent grants going to U.S. recipients. Florida is the top state by grant count, while recent recipient cities also include Notre Dame, Indiana; New York, New York; San Francisco, California; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Santa Barbara, California.
No. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments, so its activity is focused on grants to organizations rather than direct aid or PRI-style investments.
