First Look

Each year, Community Foundation Tampa Bay thoughtfully curates and presents to fundholders a selection of impactful local nonprofit proposals. We believe these initiatives are best positioned to drive meaningful change and also align with your philanthropic interests.

We invite you to join us for this First Look experience!

What to Expect at First Look

First Look is an opportunity to learn, connect, and be inspired—without any pressure to give.

There is no solicitation, and no nonprofit representatives will be in attendance. Instead, we’ve created a relaxed space for fundholders to:

• Gain a deeper understanding of local nonprofits and funding opportunities.
• Exchange ideas and discuss values with one another.
• Receive resources tailored to support meaningful, strategic giving.
• Explore co-funding opportunities with us or fellow fundholders to collectively bring high-impact projects to life.

Event Details

For our fundholders’ convenience, we are offering multiple First Look events this year. If you would like to attend, please RSVP for your preferred date and location from the three options listed below. Lunch will be provided at the South Shore event, and light hors d’oeuvres will be served at the other two gatherings.
