About Big Brothers Big Sisters Association of Florida
Big Brothers Big Sisters Association of Florida Inc directs its grantmaking to one thing across the state: mentoring support for its 11 local nonprofit affiliates. The largest recent awards in the record go to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tampa Bay Inc, including $1,572,584 in 2025 and $1,515,953 in 2024 for mentoring program support, showing a recurring pattern of substantial operating-style support rather than isolated project grants. The foundation also backs Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Suncoast Inc, which received $1,371,406 in 2025 and $1,203,572 in 2024 for the same purpose. That consistency matches the organization’s stated role in increasing resources and expanding opportunities for local affiliates statewide. Its grants are tied to evidence-based youth mentoring programs and to the network that delivers them, with support flowing through affiliates serving children and teens in Florida communities. Recent awards also extend to affiliates in Miami, Broward County, Northwest Florida, Northeast Florida, Palm Beach and Martin Counties, and other parts of the state, reinforcing a statewide affiliate model built around direct service delivery and mentoring infrastructure.
What Big Brothers Big Sisters Association of Florida Funds
The foundation’s core cause area is one-to-one youth mentoring. In 2025, it gave $804,432 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Broward County Inc in Fort Lauderdale for mentoring program support, and in 2024 it gave $708,528 to the same affiliate for the same purpose. Youth development is another clear priority: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties in West Palm Beach received $367,738 in 2025 and $321,240 in 2024 for mentoring program support, part of a broader effort to strengthen local service delivery. Scholarship and post-secondary access also appear in the active programs, including Scholarship Awards for Littles, a statewide scholarship program for youth enrolled in Big Brothers Big Sisters programs across Florida. Capacity building is embedded in the structure of the grantmaking, because the awards are routed to local affiliates that operate the mentoring programs.
