About Joy Mccann Foundation
Joy Mccann Foundation Inc. uses a mix of strategic grants and pre-selected community grants to back organizations that improve health, well-being, culture, and humanity in Florida. The pattern is local and heavily concentrated in Tampa Bay, with 92% of grants going to recipients in Florida and the top giving state also Florida. Recent awards show a clear preference for practical, program-linked support: a refrigerated veggie van for YMCA of Tampa Bay, chronic complex care clinic development at St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation, and a community cat management program at the University of Florida UF Foundation. The foundation also supports workforce and service infrastructure, including CNA training through United Way Suncoast and disability employment efforts at Macdonald Training Center. Its grantmaking reaches beyond health services into public health, education, arts, animal welfare, and neighborhood development. The recent record includes support for mosquito control research with the University of South Florida-Sam & Martha Gibbons Alumni Center, reading enrichment for at-risk youth at Boys & Girls Club of Tampa Bay Steinbrenner Center, and outdoor theater programming at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts. Together, these gifts suggest a funder that favors named organizations with ongoing roles in the community and grants sized for targeted operating or project support.
