The Social Opportunity Works Fund Helps Nonprofits Fulfill Their Missions

The Social Opportunity Works Fund, formerly known as the Social Justice Fund and the Venture Philanthropy Fund, serves to increase Tampa Bay nonprofits’ capacity and hands-on impact working around issues of injustice and equity or racial, economic, educational, housing, and health.

After four years of giving, the decision to rename the PCF fund came from a natural progression and acknowledgment of our grantees’ work. Since it began, the Social Opportunity Works Fund at Pinellas Community Foundation has awarded over 35 nonprofits working in communities and economies long-plagued by the inequitable distribution of resources with capacity-building support services, training, and over $700,000 in financial awards.
