The foundation directs its entire recorded giving to a single local faith organization, indicating a focused commitment to supporting church-led charitable activity in the Orlando/Winter Park area. Grants to REACH ORLANDO CHURCH across multiple awards suggest the funder prioritizes sustained operational or program support for that congregation’s community-facing work. The foundation appears highly local and faith-oriented rather than broadly diversified across sectors or geographies.
Highly concentrated: all recorded dollars to one repeat grantee (three grants), indicating deep, sustained support rather than distributed or exploratory giving.
The Lucia H Bailey and Stephen M Bailey 2016 Family Foundation Inc has one clear center of gravity: Reach Orlando Church in Winter Park, which received three of the foundation’s largest recorded grants, including $113,000 in 2023, $105,000 in 2024, and $90,000 in 2025. That pattern shows a funder that does not spread its giving broadly across many institutions; instead, it maintains a strong, repeated relationship with a single faith-based recipient. The recorded grants also place the foundation within a wider circle of church-led and community-oriented charities, including Spirit of Joy Church, Dawson Family of Faith, and Covenant House Florida. Alongside those local and regional awards, the foundation has made gifts to organizations with national or multi-state reach such as Judicial Watch Inc, Turning Point USA, Hillsdale College, and Samaritans Purse. The overall picture is a family foundation whose grantmaking is highly concentrated, faith-aligned, and rooted in recurring support for religious and charitable work, especially in the Winter Park and Orlando area.
Faith-based giving is the foundation’s most visible thread. In 2024, it gave $20,000 to Spirit of Joy Church in Orlando, and in 2023 it gave $10,000 to Dawson Family of Faith in Birmingham. Those awards sit alongside recurring support for church-centered charitable activity, showing an emphasis on congregational work rather than a diversified issue portfolio. The foundation also supports human services and care-oriented organizations. Examples include $30,000 in 2025 to Vna Hospice Foundation Inc in Vero Beach and $10,000 in 2025 to Covenant House Florida in Orlando. Education appears as another theme: Newberry Christian Community School in Gainesville received $20,000 in 2023, and Hillsdale College received $11,000 in 2025. These grants indicate a mix of religious, educational, and service-based philanthropy.
Typical awards cluster in the low-thousands to mid-thousands, with a p25 of $3,000, a median of $5,000, and a p75 of $9,500. The recent record also includes larger outliers, such as six-figure support for a core recipient. The grant list shows repeated awards across multiple years to the same organizations, especially Reach Orlando Church, Judicial Watch Inc, and Association of Southeastern Biologists, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts. The foundation is a family foundation, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments.
