About Frederick A Deluca Foundation
The Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on strengthening local community infrastructure in South Florida, channeling large gifts to community foundations that distribute impact and capacity-building funding regionally. Grants fund community impact initiatives and a named nonprofit support effort (the DeLuca Center for Nonprofit Excellence), indicating a preference for broad, intermediary partners that can shore up many local nonprofits and community programs. Giving is highly regional (Broward, Palm Beach, Martin counties) and focused on maximizing local community benefit through intermediary organizations.
