About Majeed Foundation
The Majeed Foundation focuses its philanthropy on enhancing public greenspace and waterfront amenities in St. Petersburg, FL, funding municipal and nonprofit projects that improve parkland and botanical resources. Grants are large and targeted toward capital projects and public-facing infrastructure (gardens, waterfront parks, splash pad/walkway), suggesting an emphasis on place‑making and community recreation. The foundation prefers a small number of high-value awards to local organizations and city government rather than broad national giving.

About Majeed Foundation
Majeed Foundation Inc’s largest recent gift was an $819,243 grant to Florida Botanical Gardens for public gardens support, which captures the foundation’s pattern of backing place-based amenities in and around St. Petersburg. Across the recent grants list, the foundation appears most comfortable making large, targeted awards for capital and mission support rather than spreading funds broadly across many recipients. A recurring public-space theme runs through the giving: the City of St Petersburg received repeated support for the St Pete Splash Pad and Walkway in 2023, 2024, and 2025, while Waterfront Parks Foundation was funded in both 2024 and 2025 for waterfront park work and mission support. The foundation also backed arts and civic institutions such as The Dali Museum and The James Museum of Western and Wildlife Art, alongside smaller gifts to organizations tied to blindness advocacy, cancer research, scholarships, and faith-based community support. The overall picture is of a local funder focused on tangible community assets, especially gardens, parks, and public-facing infrastructure.
What Majeed Foundation Funds
Public gardens are a central theme in the foundation’s giving. In 2023, Majeed Foundation Inc awarded $100,000 to Florida Botanical Gardens for educational programs, and in 2025 it followed with a $25,000 grant for public gardens support. Waterfront preservation is another clear area: Waterfront Parks Foundation received $50,000 in 2023 for historic waterfront parks and $202,996 in 2025 for mission support. The foundation also supports municipal recreation infrastructure; the City of St Petersburg received $200,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025 for the St Pete Splash Pad and Walkway. Beyond parks and gardens, the foundation made smaller grants for classical music, scholarship activity, blindness advocacy, and cancer research through named recipients in those fields.
How Majeed Foundation Gives
The typical grant size is $5,000 at the 25th percentile, $10,000 at the median, and $75,000 at the 75th percentile, but the recent awards also include a few much larger capital-style grants. Giving is highly recurrent: the City of St Petersburg appears in three consecutive years for the same splash pad and walkway project, Florida Botanical Gardens appears in multiple years, and Waterfront Parks Foundation also reappears. Majeed Foundation Inc is a private foundation that does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The pattern points to direct grants rather than an open application program.
