The Pabst Steinmetz Foundation provides financial support through our grant application process to organizations whose missions align with ours. Of particular interest are groups working the intersection of the arts with wellness, education, medicine, and technology for the betterment of our community. We are keenly interested in how groups are innovating in their fields, and developing models to share with other groups and organizations.
Please note funding requests are only entertained through the grant application process.

Our grant application period opens on May 1 and closes on September 15th for the following calendar year's grant awards. Grant awards will then be announced before the start of the grant awards year.
For example, organizations seeking funding for 2026 need to apply between May 1 and September 15, 2025.  Award winners will be announced before January 2026.

The Pabst Steinmetz Foundation accepts grant applications from any 501(c)3 registered entity in the United States. Organizations whose work ties back to programs, organizations, or institutions with connections to Florida are of great interest to the Board.
