About Feeding America Tampa Bay
Feeding America Tampa Bay Inc moves very large amounts of funding through local food and stability partners in Florida, with a 2025 grant of $10,038,217 to Hope Villages of America and an $8,752,205 grant to St Petersburg Free Clinic among its larger recent awards. The foundation’s work centers on hunger relief, food distribution, food security, and the services that support people once food assistance is in place, including job training, SNAP application assistance, financial resources and stability, and health and wellness. Its recent grants show a networked approach: rather than concentrating on a single organization, it supports many community-based providers across the Tampa Bay area and nearby counties. The pattern also suggests a funder built for scale. In 2025, it made multiple seven-figure grants to local recipients such as The Volunteer Way Pasco, United Food Bank of Plant City, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and Hopeville Family Ministries. Several awards went to faith-based food pantries, clinics, and neighborhood food banks, indicating a mix of direct food distribution and wraparound support. The foundation’s leadership is listed as Thomas Mantz.
What Feeding America Tampa Bay Funds
Hunger relief is the clearest theme in the recent grant list. Feeding America Tampa Bay Inc gave $3,376,767 to Tampa Bay Hunger Relief Center Inc for SEE PART IV, and a separate $2,929,997 grant to the same organization for program support. That pairing points to sustained support for a core distribution partner. The foundation also backs community food pantries and neighborhood access points. It awarded $1,666,699 to Village Presbyterian (Community Food Pantry) in Tampa and $1,403,277 to A Blessing Food Pantry (formerly Northeast Umc) in Tampa, showing support for localized food access. Health-linked and safety-net providers appear as well. In 2025, it gave $8,752,205 to St Petersburg Free Clinic and $2,001,863 to Helping Hands in Clearwater, both of which fit a model where food assistance sits alongside broader community services. Faith-based organizations are part of the mix, including grants to St Anne Catholic Church and First Umc Hudson.
How Feeding America Tampa Bay Gives
Typical award sizes are substantial: the 25th percentile is $89,474, the median is $243,475, and the 75th percentile is $489,308. The recent list also shows repeated support for the same recipient across years and in multiple 2025 entries, including large awards to organizations that appear more than once. That points to ongoing relationship-based grantmaking rather than one-time transactions. Feeding America Tampa Bay Inc is a pure DAF provider and makes program-specific, restricted grants; it also does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
