The foundation directs essentially all of its giving to a single local beneficiary: Bishop Kenny High School in Jacksonville. Grants are unrestricted (general fund) and appear intended to support the school's ongoing operations and mission rather than many causes. The pattern suggests a strong, personal or community-oriented commitment to one Catholic secondary school.
Highly concentrated and repeat giving: two grants totaling the foundation's entire documented giving, both to the same local high school and designated for general fund/operational support.
The Michael Cascone Jr & Elizabeth Belyea Cascone Family Foundation’s giving is defined by sustained support for Bishop Kenny High School in Jacksonville. The largest recent grant in the record is a $499,539 general-fund award in 2025, followed by another $302,000 general-fund grant in 2024, showing a repeated commitment rather than a one-time gift. That pattern sits alongside other Jacksonville-based support for Catholic and educational institutions, including The Guardian Catholic Schools, the Diocese of St Augustine, and Holy Family Catholic Church. The foundation’s grantmaking is largely unrestricted, with general-fund awards appearing across years and across recipient types. Its recent activity also reaches beyond the school itself to related local institutions such as the University of North Florida and United Way of Northeast FL, which suggests a mix of faith-based, educational, and community support within a tightly regional footprint. The foundation’s profile is that of a family funder concentrating resources on a small set of organizations, with Bishop Kenny High School at the center of that pattern.
Catholic education is the clearest throughline in the foundation’s giving. Bishop Kenny High School received $499,539 in 2025 and $302,000 in 2024, both designated for the general fund. The Guardian Catholic Schools also received $50,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, indicating repeated support for Catholic schooling beyond a single institution. Faith-based organizations appear in the grant list as well. The Diocese of St Augustine received $53,700 in 2024 and $51,200 in 2023, while Holy Family Catholic Church was awarded $15,000 in 2023, $12,000 in 2024, and $13,000 in 2025. The foundation also funded the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre in Metairie, Louisiana, with $11,000 in 2025 and $6,000 in 2023. Beyond Catholic institutions, the foundation supported health and community organizations in Jacksonville, including Mayo Clinic and United Way of Northeast FL.
Typical grant size is small relative to the foundation’s larger awards: the 25th percentile is $1,000, the median is $2,500, and the 75th percentile is $11,750. At the same time, the recent record includes several much larger general-fund grants, including six-figure awards. The same recipients recur across multiple years, especially Bishop Kenny High School, The Guardian Catholic Schools, the Diocese of St Augustine, Holy Family Catholic Church, Mayo Clinic, and University of North Florida. The foundation is a family foundation, makes grants to nonprofit organizations, and does not fund individuals or program-related investments. The grants shown are general-fund awards.
