The Peter Degeorge Charitable Trust
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation says it does not accept unsolicited requests and makes its contributions to preselected organisations, so a cold application is not the way in.
- A approach only makes sense if you already have a relationship that could lead to an invitation, since 94% of its grant dollars in the most recent filing went to organisations it had also funded in an earlier filing.
- Its grants span health, a school, music, veterans, rehabilitation and conservation, and the filings show grants mainly in Florida, though no geographic focus is stated, so fit depends on the work itself.
- Half of its 30 grants to organisations were $50,000 or less and the median was $50,000, so a request of that size is realistic; the typical band of $6,300 to $475,000 is not a ceiling, as its largest grant was about $17,500,000.
- Its giving has fallen each year, from $18,937,470 to $658,540, so funds are now considerably smaller than before.
Overview
The Peter Degeorge Charitable Trust is a US private foundation based in Jupiter, FL.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2025, TY2024, TY2023) 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 trust’s filings show grants to a mixed group of charitable organisations, including health and disease charities, a school, music-related organisations, veteran and special-operations support organisations, a rehabilitation organisation, and community and conservation bodies. The grants are recorded as being for each recipient’s qualified purpose; the filing does not name a broader field of giving or identify a general class of eligible applicants. Its stated approach is to make contributions to preselected charitable organisations and not accept unsolicited requests. The records therefore describe the kinds of organisations it has supported, rather than an open application programme or a defined set of funding priorities.
Geographic Focus
No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in Florida.
