About Florida Network of Youth and Family Services
Florida Network of Youth and Family Services Inc. centers its grantmaking on prevention and early intervention for runaway, homeless, truant, and at-risk youth and their families across Florida. The largest recent award in the data went to Youth and Family Alternatives Inc in New Port Richey, which received $5,344,343 in 2025 for youth and family services. That scale is matched by repeated support for providers working through Florida’s youth-service network, including Family Resources Inc in Pinellas Park, which appears multiple times in the recent grants list. The pattern points to a funder that channels substantial operating support to community-based organizations delivering counseling, crisis sheltering, diversion from deeper system involvement, and family skill building. The foundation’s active grant programs also align with this model, including calls for proposals tied to SNAP services and community counseling under CINS/FINS. Across the recent grants table, awards are concentrated in youth and family services rather than one-off special projects, indicating a structured approach to maintaining service capacity within the state’s provider network.
What Florida Network of Youth and Family Services Funds
Family support services are a clear part of the portfolio. In 2025, Florida Network of Youth and Family Services Inc. gave $1,845,692 to Mount Bethel Human Services Corporation Inc - Orange County in Orlando for youth and family services, and similar support appears elsewhere in the list for community providers serving caregivers and children together. Prevention and early intervention also show up through recurring awards to organizations delivering youth and family services across Florida circuits and counties. Youth crisis response is another theme: Youth Crisis Center Inc in Jacksonville received $3,072,684 in 2025 for youth and family services, alongside earlier awards in 2024 and 2023. The foundation also funds shelter diversion and non-residential services through its active SNAP and CINS/FINS proposal programs, which point to a service model built around community-based intervention rather than institutional placement.
How Florida Network of Youth and Family Services Gives
Typical grants are large: the 25th percentile is $481,847, the median is $1,011,963, and the 75th percentile is $1,361,964. The recent grants list shows recurring support to the same providers across multiple years, including organizations that appear in 2023, 2024, and 2025, which suggests ongoing contract-style funding rather than isolated one-time awards. The organization is a Pure DAF Provider and makes no program-related investments. Its active opportunities include calls for proposals, and one SNAP-related call explicitly accepts unsolicited submissions while another SNAP RFP does not. The grant record is fully local, with all grants in Florida.
