Assets:$663.9M
Annual Giving:$26.6M

The Community Foundation of Tampa Bay gives large, mission-driven gifts with a strong tilt toward faith-based organizations and higher education, alongside locally focused community services, veterans' support, and regional cultural institutions. Many grants are sizable, often unrestricted “support of mission” awards, and the foundation repeatedly funds a mix of local Tampa nonprofits and prominent national institutions. Its portfolio reflects both place-based community investment (housing, health, social services, arts) and denominational or faith-affiliated giving at scale.
