The Peninsula Charities Foundation II makes a small number of very large, general-purpose grants to mission-driven nonprofits, favoring organizations in conservation, outdoor/environmental education, and reproductive health. Grants are unrestricted, suggesting trust in grantee leadership and a preference for funding core operations rather than specific projects. Although based in Key Largo, the foundation supports groups beyond Florida, indicating an interest in national or regionally significant initiatives in its chosen themes.
Concentrated giving: very few, large unrestricted grants to established nonprofits; emphasis on repeatable core support rather than many small awards or project-restricted funding.
A $800,000 unrestricted grant to Kroka Expeditions is the clearest signal in The Peninsula Charities Foundation II’s recent giving: the foundation backs mission-driven nonprofits with large general-purpose awards rather than project-restricted funding. Its 2025 grant list also includes six-figure support for Planned Parenthood Feder of Am, Truro Conservation Trust, Williston Northampton School, and New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, showing a portfolio that reaches into outdoor education, reproductive health, conservation, and established charitable infrastructure. The foundation’s giving pattern suggests a preference for organizations that can absorb flexible funding and deploy it across core operations. Recent awards include both national groups and place-based nonprofits, with recipients in New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, and Florida. Several grantees appear in more than one year, including Planned Parenthood Feder of Am, Habitat for Humanity, Everglades Foundation, and Natural Resources Defense Council, which points to continued support rather than one-time awards. The foundation funds nonprofits rather than individuals, and the grants shown are consistently labeled general and unrestricted.
Outdoor and wilderness education is one of the foundation’s most visible themes. It gave $800,000 to Kroka Expeditions for general and unrestricted support, placing experiential education at the center of its recent portfolio. Reproductive health is another recurring area. Planned Parenthood Feder of Am received $510,000 in 2025 and $35,000 in 2024, while Planned Parenthood of Northern New England received $282,000 in 2025. Environmental conservation appears in both land and ocean-adjacent work. The foundation awarded $500,000 to Truro Conservation Trust, $250,000 to American Farmland Trust, $200,000 to NRDC, and $13,000 to Everglades Foundation. It also supports cultural and community institutions. The Colonial Performing Arts Center received $200,000, Moco Arts received $127,000, and Bax Brooklyn Arts Exchange received $45,000, all as general and unrestricted grants.
Typical grants are small relative to the largest awards, with a p25 of $3,000, a median of $5,000, and a p75 of $10,000. At the same time, the recent grant list includes several large checks, indicating a barbell pattern rather than a narrow grant band. The foundation funds nonprofits only, not individuals, and the grants shown are general and unrestricted. Repeat awards are present across years: Planned Parenthood Feder of Am, Habitat for Humanity, Everglades Foundation, and Natural Resources Defense Council each appear more than once in the recent list, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than one-time support.
