Pinellas Community Foundation: Tampa Bay Resiliency Fund

About

A unique partnership has been launched to help the critical organizations that provide assistance to the most vulnerable of our local residents being affected by the COVID-19 public health crisis. The Tampa Bay Resiliency Fund is a new strategic collaboration of the Pinellas Community Foundation, Allegany Franciscan Ministries, Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg and United Way Suncoast with nearly $1 million of funding assistance available to nonprofit 501(c) organizations and governmental agencies.

Investment allocations from this fund will be made through a lens of serving the most vulnerable by race and socioeconomic status.

This is an evidence-informed response to a public health crisis, and our response will be led by the public health department’s epidemiology and staying abreast of the growing knowledge of best responses.

Funding allocations will be prioritized generally among the following three categories: Protection of life, mitigation of additional harm, and strengthening nonprofits related to critical intervention services to the community.
