At Community Foundation Tampa Bay, we value the role you play in helping individuals and families make the most of their charitable giving. That is why we provide regular updates on legal and policy developments that may affect your clients.

At some point in your adult life, you have likely recognized the importance of putting a will, trust, and powers of attorney in place, along with thoughtful financial planning to stay on track with retirement and other goals for yourself and your family.

In 1969, Needa Spells had an idea she believed could change lives. She wrote directly to the President of the United States, urging him to create a national program to teach children the value of saving money.

Retaining clients is a cornerstone of long-term business success in any profession or industry. Keeping an existing client, and earning additional work from that client, is often far more efficient than acquiring a new one.

When nonprofits talk about endowments, the conversation often centers on financial sustainability. Endowments can provide steady support through distributions, strengthen long-term stability, and help organizations navigate unpredictable fundraising cycles.

Nearly 20 years after his passing, Harold Corrigan's generosity continues to shape lives across the Tampa Bay community.

As 2025 transitioned into 2026, you were likely already monitoring the various IRS thresholds that are subject to adjustment, as well as the new tax laws’ impact on planning techniques. An equally important consideration is how these changes may affect your clients’ charitable giving.

The team at Community Foundation Tampa Bay is honored to work with attorneys, CPAs, and financial advisors to help clients turn generosity into lasting impact. As you support charitable clients, you routinely incorporate philanthropic intentions into wills, trusts, and beneficiary designations.

You and your team no doubt understand how transformational bequests and legacy gifts can be for your organization. In 2024, total charitable giving in the United States reached $592.5 billion, according to the Giving USA 2025 report.

If your client base includes business owners, you may already be familiar with the general benefits of giving closely-held business interests to charity. The specifics, however, can feel less clear. That is understandable. Most advisors encounter only a few of these opportunities over the course of their careers.

December is a meaningful time for many people. It is a season of reflection, generosity, and planning for the year ahead. As the year draws to a close, there is still plenty of time to support clients who are making their December giving decisions.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law on July 4, 2025. Here are the key takeaways that will impact philanthropy.
