The Scaife Family Foundation grant awards will support and develop programs that demonstrate the beneficial interaction between humans and animals, early intervention and prevention in the area of drug and alcohol addiction, and address issues surrounding the health and welfare of women and children.

Focus area:

• Women & Children: We partner with high-impact organizations that break down barriers and help women and children lead bigger, brighter lives free of violence, addiction or abuse. Among other goals, we promote healthy relationships and social change to support the physical and emotional needs of women and children in crisis.

• Addiction: We support programs that provides addiction prevention, intervention, treatment and recovery.

• Animal Welfare: We support organizations that promote animal welfare and provide training for service dogs. We also partner with nonprofits who use the power of the animal-human connection in therapeutic settings to improve lives. This includes equine therapy programs, for example, to help heal adults and children with physical, cognitive and emotional disabilities.

The Foundations offers grants in the form of general operating support and program support. Proposals for event sponsorship and endorsements, capital campaigns renovation, individuals and government agencies are typically declined.

Grant proposals may be submitted via US mail to:

Scaife Family Foundation, 777 S. Flagler Dr., Suite 909 East Tower, West Palm Beach, FL 33401 or electronically to admin4sff@scaifecharities.org.

We have two deadlines for submitting proposals: The first business day in February for our Spring Meeting and the first business day of August for Fall. 

We normally only consider grants at our Spring and Fall Meetings, but we accept applications at any time and act upon them as expeditiously as possible. For all submissions, further information and documentation may be requested.

The Foundation's service area is not limited to any particular geographical area within the United States and we will historically consider South Florida and Western Pennsylvania first.
