Dwayne Hawkins Family Foundation Inc
Between its 2022–2024 filings, Dwayne Hawkins Family Foundation Inc made 153 grants to Florida organizations totaling $2,828,125 — median $7,500. 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.
Winnability verdict
Watch Our reading as of October 11, 2026, from filings through 2024.
- Their filings don't publish an application route. That usually means relationships come first: start with the organizations they already fund, and watch for a stated process in their next filing.
- A real pattern, not a one-off: 20 grants in youth & family services on their Florida record ($668,000).
- Size the ask from their record: median grant $7,500, largest $298,500.
Deadline: No application deadline appears in the filings we have — confirm timing with the funder before planning a submission.
The verdict is our judgment from public filings — the funder’s own process statements are quoted where they exist, and funders make their own decisions. Verify with the funder before applying.
