In 2000, the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay offered a $2 million challenge grant to nonprofits in the Tampa Bay area to assist them in building their permanent endowments. This three-to-one challenge was designed to assist nonprofit organizations to focus both on developing planned gifts and building endowment funds so that they would realize a steady, growing income stream to assure financial stability and allow for creative growth.
