Havenick Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold proposal is not the route, and the filing gives no submission steps, so the realistic first move is finding a way to be put forward.
- Half of its 28 grants to organisations across its two most recent filings were $5,000 or less, with a median of $5,000, so any request should be sized modestly rather than near its largest award of about $850,000.
- Its typical grant band of $1,000 to $100,000 covers about 8 in 10 grants, but that band is not a ceiling.
- Its giving is strongly concentrated in Florida, with some awards to other states, and no geographic focus is stated, so an organisation outside Florida should not assume it is excluded.
- Only 2% of grant dollars in its most recent filing went to organisations it had also funded in the prior filing, so repeat funding should not be counted on.
Overview
Havenick Family Foundation is a US private foundation based in Miami, FL.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (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 foundation's reported grants support a broad range of organisations, including a university, a Jewish community federation, schools, a hospital and a performing arts organisation. The filings describe the grants as general purpose and do not identify a narrower funding field or a particular programme. The recipient list also includes religious, health, education, civic and charitable organisations. Its recorded giving is strongly concentrated in Florida, although the filings show some awards to organisations in other states. The return says that contributions go only to preselected charitable organisations, rather than describing an open application route.
