The Bill & Julia Van Domelen Foundation concentrates its giving in large, targeted gifts primarily to health care providers and child-focused organizations, with a geographic emphasis on the Naples, Florida region. Most grants are sizeable unrestricted/general support awards to hospital and community health systems, alongside support for children's education and charitable vehicles tied to the family. The portfolio is small but high-dollar, indicating focused strategic philanthropy rather than broad diversification.
The Bill & Julia Van Domelen Foundation’s largest recent grant is a $11,323,447 general-support award to NCH Healthcare System Inc in Naples, signaling a strategy built around large, targeted gifts rather than broad dispersal. Their recent giving also includes another $5,000,000 general grant to Healthcare Network in Immokalee and a $1,500,000 award to NCH Healthcare System Inc, showing continued support for health care infrastructure in southwest Florida. Alongside medical giving, the foundation backs children’s education and family-serving organizations in the Naples area, including Naples Children & Education Foundation Inc, Grace Place for Children and Families Inc, Guadalupe Center, and The Immokalee Foundation. The portfolio is highly concentrated and high-dollar, with gifts that are mostly unrestricted or described as general support. A donor-advised fund linked to the family also appears in the recent grants list, indicating a family-centered charitable structure within the foundation’s grantmaking. The overall pattern points to a funder focused on a small set of regional institutions and community-serving charities, especially those connected to health care and children.
Health care is the clearest theme in the foundation’s recent awards. In 2025, they gave $5,000,000 to Healthcare Network in Immokalee for general support, and another $1,500,000 to NCH Healthcare System Inc in Naples for general support. Those grants sit alongside the earlier $11,323,447 award to NCH Healthcare System Inc, reinforcing a strong health-system emphasis. Child-focused philanthropy is the other major thread. The foundation gave $1,000,000 to Naples Children & Education Foundation Inc for general support, $200,000 to Grace Place for Children and Families Inc for general support, and $100,000 to Guadalupe Center for general support. A smaller $25,000 grant to The Immokalee Foundation adds to that youth and education pattern. The mix shows support for both medical capacity and organizations serving children and families in the Naples and Immokalee area.
The recent grants are unusually concentrated: the p25, median, and p75 grant size are all $11,323,447, indicating a portfolio dominated by one very large award and a small number of other high-dollar grants. The foundation gives general-support gifts rather than narrowly restricted project awards in the recent list. Several recipients appear more than once, including NCH Healthcare System Inc, which suggests repeat relationship-based funding rather than one-off support. A family-linked donor-advised fund also receives a grant, showing that the foundation’s structure includes family charitable vehicles alongside direct institutional giving.
