Mission statement

The purpose of the James M. Doss Sr. Charitable Foundation is to provide funds through a direct grant or matching grant to charitable organizations, including but not limited to Catholic faith-based organizations, college athletics programs, and children’s health and human services agencies.

Criteria

The Foundation benefits recognized charitable organizations described in Code Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 501(c)(3), and 2055(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Priority is given to programs and projects with clearly defined outcomes and an evaluation process.

Guidelines, geographic focus, and priorities

The Foundation provides grants to non-profit Catholic faith-based organizations, college athletics programs, and children’s health and human services agencies. If a qualifying organization experiences a special need outside the grant cycle, consideration may be given. Grants to organizations outside the identified focus areas are awarded only in Florida’s west coast area or western North Carolina.
