Creating a Thriving Tampa Bay
When people from all parts of our community – business, nonprofits, philanthropy, government – work together, great things happen. Community Foundation Tampa Bay drives philanthropic impact throughout the region collaboratively with our fundholders and community partners.
Fundholder-Driven Impact
Community Foundation Tampa Bay fundholders direct their investments to nonprofits important to them via their charitable funds, such as scholarships, donor advised funds, family foundations, and more. Whether the charitable gift is simple or complex, our philanthropy experts assist fundholders in structuring customizable charitable giving options to meet their giving goals. Simultaneously, our community impact team provides a local perspective on community needs across Tampa Bay and the nonprofits focused on areas fundholders care most about. Depending on the type of fund, our fundholders can direct their giving at the time the fund is established, such as a scholarship or endowment, or have flexibility directing their funds through Donor Advised Funds and Family Foundations.
