Raymond James Charitable Grant Initiative
A grant program for community nonprofit organizations

Our mission
Raymond James Charitable is committed to strategically investing in the communities it serves by supporting the work of nonprofits to expand opportunities and improve the quality of life in localities across its national footprint.
Learn more about Raymond James Charitable and its board of trustees.
Inspired by Raymond James Charitable donors’ philanthropy, the Raymond James Charitable board of trustees created a grant program to provide grants to selected nonprofit organizations that exhibit a positive, enduring influence in their respective communities. For 2024, six or more charities will be awarded grants in amounts ranging from $10,000 – $25,000.
This year, in honor of Frances Neu, a former board member who passed away last year and held education near and dear to her heart, the board of trustees has chosen to support charities who address challenges faced by children in grades K-12, such as mental health, learning gaps or losses, and skill development.
The following additional criteria will be applied:
• Organization must be a U.S.-based 501c3
• Charity should have an operating budget under $3 million
• Charity has been in existence for more than five years
• Charity must not be a 2023 recipient of this initiative
• Charity must be nominated by a Raymond James associate or advisor that is active as a board member, contributor and/or volunteer
This year’s nomination period is now closed. The top 30 nominated charities will receive an invitation to apply for the grant in early April. The top six or more charities selected will be announced in May 2024.
