Community Foundation Tampa Bay is your partner and advisor as you create and manage your charitable investments. Even if you make a complex gift such as securities, real estate or other assets, we can help. We take care of the administrative details so that you can focus on your joy of giving.
Giving as a family – with your grown children, your teens, your grandchildren or your extended family –adds depth and meaning to your philanthropy. It’s a way to share values and draw closer as you set an example of giving for the next generation.
When your business gives charitably, you help build a stronger, more vibrant community in ways that are intentional, meaningful and impactful. You also engage your employees. We help you assess your giving priorities and organize your giving.
You care about your community now and forever. We work with you and your professional advisor to document your priorities. Then, your charitable intentions will be carried out through your estate plans.
Working With Us
We work with you, your community group, your business, or your foundation to develop and award scholarships to students pursuing post-secondary education at universities, colleges, technical/vocational schools, or professional certification programs.
We can help you customize your charitable gift in a number of ways, including both endowed and non-endowed gifts. An endowed gift usually is invested for the long-term. It generates income each year as the principle continues to grow. Endowments can be permanent or for a specific amount of time. A non-endowed gift can be invested and distributed for any period of time.
