About Gate Foundation
The Gate Foundation focuses primarily on health and community wellbeing in the Jacksonville/Southeast Florida area, funding hospitals, disease-focused nonprofits, elder services, first-responder family programs, and disability/palliative care. They favor organizations that deliver direct health services, crisis support, or quality-of-life programs (e.g., hospice, pediatric support, Down syndrome services), combining local institutional partners with well-known national health charities. The foundation’s grants tend to be sizable and impact-focused rather than many tiny gifts, and it makes repeat commitments to some local partners.

About Gate Foundation
The Gate Foundation Inc concentrates its giving on health and community wellbeing in the Jacksonville and Southeast Florida area, with grants that support hospitals, disease-focused nonprofits, elder services, first-responder family programs, and disability and palliative care. A clear pattern in the recent grants is support for local health systems and community-serving organizations, including a $180,000 grant to Sjc Council on Aging and a $102,500 grant to Baptist Health Foundation. Those awards sit alongside continued funding for organizations that provide direct services to residents, such as Ronald Mcdonald Health Charities Jax and Pal of Jacksonville Inc. The foundation also supports crisis and support services tied to community health, including American Red Cross and Fire Fighters for Families. Its recent grant list shows a mix of local institutions and national nonprofits, but the subject matter stays centered on human services and health-related support. The Gate Foundation Inc’s giving pattern suggests attention to organizations that deliver direct help, rather than broad general-purpose philanthropy.
What Gate Foundation Funds
In aging services, The Gate Foundation Inc gave $180,000 to Sjc Council on Aging for community and cultural development and health/human services. In first-responder family support, it awarded $170,000 to Fire Fighters for Families for the same broad program area. Health-system support appears in multiple grants, including $100,000 to Baptist Health Foundation in Jacksonville and $102,500 to Baptist Health Foundation in Coral Gables.

Disability and family support show up as well, with $40,000 to Down Syndrome Association and $55,000 to K9's for Warriors.
How Gate Foundation Gives
Typical grant size is modest to mid-sized, with a p25 of $500, a median of $1,777, and a p75 of $3,261. The recent grant list includes repeated support for some organizations across multiple years, including Baptist Health Foundation, Pal of Jacksonville Inc, Community Foundation, North Carolina Outward Bound, and Down Syndrome Association of Jacksonville. That points to recurring relationships rather than one-off gifts only. The foundation is not a funder of individuals and does not make program-related investments. The grants shown are community-based program support, often at the project or capacity-strengthening level for local organizations.
