Between its 2021–2024 filings, Louis and Gloria Flanzer Philantrhopic Trust made 419 grants to Florida organizations totaling $30,196,383 — median $47,130. 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 2024 is the newest year on public record — giving patterns persist, but always confirm current priorities with the funder.
