Tampa Bay Resiliency Fund

What is the Tampa Bay Resiliency Fund?

The Tampa Bay Resiliency Fund (TBRF) is a strategic collaboration of the Pinellas Community Foundation, Allegany Franciscan Ministries, Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg and United Way Suncoast. This partnership was launched to help critical nonprofit organizations that aid the community during times of disaster. It has now been activated to aid organizations helping those suffering from the effects of Hurricane Ian.

Are there specific agencies that the Tampa Bay Resiliency Fund will support?

Nonprofit 501(c)3 organizations and governmental agencies will be eligible to receive assistance. Funding allocations will be prioritized to address community safety and security needs. Here are examples of priorities:

• Emergency food, water, shelter, and other basic needs
• Necessary services to vulnerable and at-risk populations
• Support to allow organizations to continue or expand providing critical services related to this crisis

How will the fund be managed?

This is a collaboration between Tampa Bay nonprofit funders in which Pinellas Community Foundation serves as a fiscal agent. Distribution of funds will be overseen through a collaborative process by the funding partners to ensure the funds are distributed fairly and equitably to address the community’s most serious needs. 100% of the funds collected thorough this effort will be directed to address immediate and mid- to long-term needs through the provision of grants to select nonprofits.
