COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF TAMPA BAY INC

Community Foundation Tampa Bay's annual competitive grants program provides funding to eligible nonprofits across five focus areas: Economic Opportunity, Environmental Resiliency and Sustainability, Physical Health and Mental Wellbeing, Quality Child and Youth Education, and Vibrant and Engaged Communities. The two-stage process requires submission of a Letter of Intent (due 1/7/2026) followed by a full application for selected organizations.

Community Foundation Tampa Bay's Critical Needs List allows nonprofits to submit requests for emergency funding up to $250,000 for unexpected, time-sensitive needs that disrupt service delivery or threaten organizational operations. Requests are matched with donations from fundholders and community philanthropists on a rolling basis rather than through a competitive process.
