Inspired by Raymond James Charitable donors’ philanthropy, the Raymond James Charitable board of trustees created a grant program to provide grants to selected nonprofit organizations that exhibit a positive, enduring influence in their respective communities. 

The following criteria will be applied for this year’s grant:

• Charity’s work must focus on natural disaster relief efforts 
• Must be a U.S. based 501c3
• Should have an operating budget under $3 million
• Be in existence for more than 5 years
• Must not be a 2024 recipient of this initiative
• Must be nominated by a Raymond James associate or advisor that is active as a board member, contributor or volunteer

This year’s nomination period is now closed. The finalist charities will be selected in early April and corresponding nominators will be contacted thereafter. The top six or more charities selected to receive a grant will be announced in early May.
