Gore Family Memorial Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Gore Family Memorial Foundation does not accept unsolicited requests, so the realistic route in is an invitation or an introduction, and a cold application should not be sent.
- The filings state no geographic focus and show grants mainly in Florida, so location alone is not a reason to rule your organisation out.
- Typical grants, where about 8 in 10 fall, run from $19,500 to $56,000, with a median of $25,000, and half of its 90 grants to organisations were $25,000 or less, so a modest request is likely to suit it best.
- In its most recent filing, 81% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in an earlier filing, so building a relationship is likely to matter more than a first gift.
- The filings state no overall funding policy, so present your work as charitable and mission-based rather than as a match to a narrow stated theme.
Overview
Gore Family Memorial Foundation is a US private foundation based in Deerfield Beach, FL.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The filings do not state an overall funding policy. Recorded grants went to a broad mix of charitable organisations. Their stated purposes include strengthening families and improving birth outcomes, youth education, early childhood programmes, early intervention, safer homes, home ownership, support for people with disabilities and people with special health-care needs, and efforts to stop domestic violence. Other grants supported educational programmes, schools, arts and cultural organisations, food assistance, animal welfare, conservation and community services. Many grant purposes describe support for an organisation's tax-exempt purpose or mission, so the filings do not identify a narrower common focus or a preference among applicants.
