The Frank Dimino Foundation concentrates its giving locally in Palm Beach County and neighboring South Florida, favoring large, multi-year commitments to a small set of institutions. Its funding priorities center on children’s health care and education at multiple levels — from K–12 private schooling to community college — with occasional support for local ethnic cultural organizations. Grants are typically unrestricted/general purpose and directed to established regional institutions rather than small start-ups.
The Frank Dimino Foundation Inc makes some of its clearest commitments through repeated, large grants to education and children’s health. In 2025, it gave $2,124,000 and $2,100,000 to The King’s Academy in West Palm Beach, followed by another $1,700,000 to the same school in 2023. That pattern sits alongside major support for Palm Beach State College Foundation, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation, and Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation, showing a portfolio built around established institutions rather than one-off projects. The foundation’s recent giving also reaches beyond South Florida into Rochester, New York, where it has supported Italian-American and educational organizations, including the Italian American Community Center Inc and the Alumni Association of Nazareth College of Rochester. Across the recent grants list, the recipients are mostly nonprofits serving the general public, with grant purposes recorded broadly as general charitable purposes. The scale is consistently high: several awards land in the seven-figure range, and the foundation returns to the same organizations across multiple years, suggesting long-term institutional support rather than scattered experimentation.
Education is a major theme. The foundation gave $2,124,000 and $2,100,000 to The King’s Academy in 2025, plus $1,700,000 in 2023, and also supported Palm Beach State College Foundation with $2,000,000, $1,700,000, and $1,400,000 across 2023 and 2025. Children’s health care is another core area: Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation received $2,000,000 and $1,500,000 in 2023, then another $1,500,000 in 2025, while Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation received $1,500,000 and $326,000. The foundation also makes targeted local grants outside these main pillars. In Jupiter, it supported Jupiter Medical Center with $1,000,000 and My Clinic with $275,000 and $100,000. Cultural and community organizations appear as well, including Italian American Community Center Inc and The Buhite-Dimino Corridor for Oral and Maxillofacial Health Inc in Rochester.
Typical grant size is large: the 25th percentile is $100,000, the median is $225,000, and the 75th percentile is $1,650,000. The recent record shows repeat awards to the same institutions across 2023 and 2025, indicating multi-year relationships rather than isolated gifts. Grants are usually structured as general charitable purposes, and the foundation is not a funder of individuals or program-related investments. The pattern is responsive and institution-focused, with most awards going to established nonprofits.

Highly concentrated: a small number of very large grants that recur to the same core grantees (multiple grants to Palm Beach State College, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, and The King’s Academy). Grants appear to be general operating or broad-purpose and focused on established regional institutions rather than widely distributed small awards.
Notable grantees: Palm Beach State College Foundation, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation, The King’s Academy, Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation, Italian American Community Center Inc
