The Lastinger Family Foundation Inc
Between its 2020–2022 filings, The Lastinger Family Foundation Inc made 30 grants to Florida organizations totaling $3,290,300 — median $30,000. 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 2022 is the newest year on public record — giving patterns persist, but always confirm current priorities with the funder.
