Foundation of Caring

What Foundation of Caring does

Foundation of Caring is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation established in 2005 and headquartered in Wesley Chapel, Florida, operating as the philanthropic arm of Florida Medical Clinic. The foundation pools charitable contributions from individuals, monthly recurring donors, and corporate partners, then redistributes the proceeds as grants to vetted nonprofit organizations serving at-risk children, families, and individuals across Hillsborough and Pasco Counties. Its three core programs are a competitive grant program for vetted nonprofits, a monthly giving program, and corporate partnership engagements, supported by signature fundraising events including an annual Gala, a Fall Market, and a Casino Royale event.

Operational technology is minimal and undifferentiated — online donation processing runs on WooCommerce with Elavon payment integration, supplemented by a PayPal alternative checkout. The foundation reports cumulative grantmaking of $3.6M+ since inception, distributed across 180+ supported nonprofits, and employs approximately 5 people under board governance that includes Florida Medical Clinic leadership and community representatives. Named corporate partners include Henry Schein, Humana, USI, Greenway Health, Orlando Health, and Labcorp. The organization received the 2016 Philanthropic Service Club of the Year recognition and recently transitioned executive leadership with Angela Pottinger as the new Executive Director.

The revenue model is donor-dependent: individual contributions, monthly recurring commitments, corporate sponsorships (Gala sponsorship tiers reach $20,000), and event proceeds. The business model is a pass-through charitable intermediary with no product revenue, no recurring SaaS-style revenue, and no disclosed fee-for-service component. Competitive positioning is rooted in geographic focus (two Florida counties), the FMC parent brand and donor pipeline, and two decades of accumulated grantee relationships rather than any technology, data, or distribution advantage that an outside investor would consider defensible beyond the parent affiliation.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Fidelity Charitable: Largest U.S. donor-advised fund sponsor. Comparable pooled-giving/fund-distribution model, but operates nationally rather than focusing on a defined regional service area.
• Schwab Charitable Fund: Large national donor-advised fund sponsor facilitating charitable giving. Comparable pooled-funding mechanism, though it operates at far greater scale and does not restrict grants to a specific local region.
• AdventHealth Foundation: Healthcare-system-affiliated foundation supporting community health programs. Closest analog in structure (corporate-affiliated charitable arm of a healthcare provider) but operates at significantly larger scale and broader geography.

Others

• Foundation Source: Provider of administrative services for private foundations. Adjacent rather than directly comparable — supports the operational infrastructure used by foundations like Foundation of Caring, rather than competing for donors.

Regional players

• Gulf Coast Community Foundation: Regional community foundation based in Southwest Florida providing grants, scholarships, and donor services. Comparable model of pooling local philanthropy and granting to vetted nonprofits, though serving a different Florida region.
• Pinellas Community Foundation: Community foundation serving Pinellas County (adjacent to the foundation's footprint) that awards grants to local nonprofits. Comparable grantmaking-and-pooled-giving model, differing mainly in county of operation.
• Tampa Bay Thrives: Regional collaborative supporting health and human service nonprofits in the Tampa Bay area. Comparable local focus on strengthening the social safety net through community-level funding and partnerships.

Emerging players

• GiveWell Community Foundation: Smaller community foundation model pooling donor funds for local grantmaking. Operates on a similar pooled-giving premise but at a more local scale than institutional community foundations.

Direct peers

• United Way Suncoast: Regional nonprofit serving Hillsborough and Pasco Counties that pools workplace donations and funds health/human service nonprofits. Comparable donor-pooling and local-impact grantmaking model in the same geography.
• Community Foundation of Tampa Bay: Regional community foundation serving the Tampa Bay area (including Hillsborough and Pasco Counties) that pools charitable contributions and distributes grants to nonprofits. Directly comparable geographic focus and pooled-giving model.
