Winter Park Health Foundation prioritizes strengthening local health care capacity and the health–education nexus in the Winter Park/Orange County area, making multi-hundred-thousand dollar gifts to hospitals, health foundations, and school health programs. Their grants fund capital and programmatic support (including nurse practitioner positions and facility/building projects) and largely benefit established local institutions rather than a broad national slate of charities.
Winter Park Health Foundation Inc makes large, local grants that tie health care access to schools, community facilities, and nonprofit partners in Winter Park, Maitland, and Eatonville. Its recent awards include major support for Orange County Public Schools health services, such as the 2025 grants for school-based behavioral health and nurse practitioner staffing, alongside substantial funding for hospital-linked and community health initiatives. The pattern is not limited to one type of institution: the foundation also backs libraries, arts organizations, grief support services, and scholarship funds tied to nursing education. The grants are typically in the six-figure range, with some awards used for building or development work and others directed to program staffing, supplies, or special initiatives. That mix shows a funder investing in both the infrastructure of care and the people delivering it. Winter Park Health Foundation Inc also supports in-kind community capacity through meeting and event space at its Center for Health & Wellbeing, which extends its role beyond cash grants. Across the recent grant list, recurring relationships with organizations such as the Foundation for Orange County Public Schools, AdventHealth Foundation, and community health nonprofits point to sustained local partnership rather than one-off giving.
A central theme is school health. In 2025, Winter Park Health Foundation Inc gave $436,479 to the Foundation for Orange County Public Schools for HPA CHILL Grant SY 2024-25, $172,028 for HPF Nurse Practitioner Grant SY 2024-25, and $32,951 for HPF WPHS LPN Grant SY 2024-25. It also supported school nursing supplies with a $4,750 grant. The foundation also funds access to care outside schools. Grace Medical Home Inc received $24,299 for a mobile medical unit, showing support for outreach that brings services to patients. In another health access grant, Center for Change received $25,000 for a heart health blood pressure program. Community well-being extends to grief support and family services. New Hope for Kids received $29,000 for grief support, and Winter Park Public Library received $12,000 for Family Place Library, linking early-childhood family programming to the foundation’s local health-and-wellbeing agenda.

Concentrated, high-dollar giving to a small number of local grantees—few large grants rather than many small ones—with evidence of repeat funding to local institutions and an emphasis on capital and program support.
Notable grantees: AdventHealth Foundation - Winter Park, Foundation for Orange County Public Schools, (Two other large unnamed/statement-designated recipients receiving substantial grants)
Winter Park Health Foundation Inc gives at a high-ticket level: the typical grant size is $819,274 at the 25th percentile, $883,875 at the median, and $1,170,536 at the 75th percentile. That distribution reflects a small set of large institutional awards rather than many small grants. The foundation’s giving is also consistent over time, with 2023 and 2024 entries alongside 2025 awards in the recent list. The data point to a foundation-style grantmaker rather than a donor-advised fund. It also funds individuals through scholarship support, including annual nursing scholarships and a memorial scholarship for a Winter Park High School senior. Some support is restricted to projects, staffing, supplies, or facilities, and some is in-kind rather than cash.
All recent grants in the dataset went to U.S. recipients, and every grant landed in Florida. The strongest cluster is in Winter Park, Orlando, and Maitland, with additional gifts to Eatonville and Sanford. Orlando-area recipients appear repeatedly through the Foundation for Orange County Public Schools and AdventHealth Foundation entries, while Winter Park recipients include local arts, library, and community organizations. The giving pattern is therefore tightly concentrated in Central Florida, with 100% of grants to recipients in the HQ state.
The recent grants show repeated support for schools, hospitals and health-system affiliates, community health nonprofits, libraries, arts groups, and family-service organizations. Examples include Orange County Public Schools health programs, AdventHealth Foundation, New Hope for Kids, Winter Park Public Library, and local arts organizations.
Yes. The foundation gave $436,479 for HPA CHILL Grant SY 2024-25, $172,028 for HPF Nurse Practitioner Grant SY 2024-25, $32,951 for HPF WPHS LPN Grant SY 2024-25, and $4,750 for HPF School Nursing Supplies Grant SY 2024-25.
The grant-size distribution is large: the 25th percentile is $819,274, the median is $883,875, and the 75th percentile is $1,170,536. That suggests the foundation usually makes major institutional awards rather than small general-community grants.
Yes. It funds scholarship support, including annual nursing scholarships and the Tori Sheahan Kindness & Compassion Award, a $1,000 scholarship for a Winter Park High School senior.
The giving is local. All 29 recent grants in the dataset went to U.S. recipients, and 100% of grants were made to recipients in Florida, with the strongest concentration in Winter Park, Orlando, Maitland, Eatonville, and Sanford.
