Lennar Foundation
Between its 2020–2023 filings, Lennar Foundation made 134 grants to Florida organizations totaling $57,056,900 — median $80,780. Here is what they actually funded, from their IRS 990-PF filings. A note on dates: 990-PF filings become public one to two years after the fiscal year they cover, so 2023 is the newest year on public record — giving patterns persist, but always confirm current priorities with the funder.
