Schultz Foundation

OVERVIEW: The Schultz Foundation primarily funds grantmaking related to education, health, religious causes, arts and culture, humanitarian, and environmental causes.

IP TAKE: The foundation does not maintain a website, which restricts transparency about grantmaking strategies and guidelines.

PROFILE: Established in 1964, the Schultz Foundation was founded by the late Frederick H. Shultz, a businessman and politician, and family. Frederick was elected in Jacksonville and served in the Florida House of Representatives. The foundation does not maintain a website, which makes it difficult to locate further information on its priority areas and grantmaking strategies. Tax filings suggest that the Schultz Foundation primarily funds grantmaking related to education, health, religious causes, arts and culture, humanitarian, and environmental causes.

Grantmaking is divided between education grants, and other grants that benefit the public in areas like health and the arts. Education giving appears to make up more than half of annual grantmaking. Health grantmaking addresses cancer care and treatment. Frederick himself passed away from cancer in the 2000s.

In a recent year, the foundation gave away around $190,000. Learn more about this funder’s local giving by examining its recent tax records. Grantmaking focuses on Jacksonville, Florida. Past local grantees include City Rescue Mission, Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, Florida Defenders of the Environment, Jacksonville University, and YMCA of Florida’s First Coast.

The foundation keeps a low profile and does not accept unsolicited proposals.
