The Foundation for a Healthy St Petersburg concentrates its resources locally to support economic mobility and entrepreneurship initiatives in the St. Petersburg/Pinellas County area. Its single large grant funds a community-based intermediary (Pinellas County Urban League) to build an entrepreneurial ecosystem through business navigation, convenings, and learning supports — indicating a strategic, place-based approach aimed at strengthening small business pathways for underserved residents.
Foundation for a Healthy St Petersburg Inc has used major local grants to build an entrepreneurial ecosystem in St. Petersburg and Pinellas County. Its largest recent award, $316,667 to Pinellas County Urban League Inc, supports economic mobility through business navigation, convenings, and broad-based learning for community entrepreneurs. That same place-based approach shows up in grants that connect entrepreneurship with education, housing stability, and health equity, rather than treating those issues separately. The foundation’s recent grantmaking also includes significant support for multi-sector partnerships and community intermediaries. It gave $237,500 to Pinellas Education Foundation to further equitable educational outcomes and strengthen shared work around data and systems change. Elsewhere, awards have supported racial equity capacity-building, mental health and wellness, and hurricane recovery across St. Petersburg and surrounding Pinellas County communities. The pattern suggests a funder that backs organizations able to coordinate services, build infrastructure, and move resources through local networks. Across its portfolio, the foundation funds nonprofits, public agencies, and community partners working on economic mobility, health equity, and resilience. It also supports direct services for residents facing barriers, including youth leaving foster care, women experiencing domestic violence, and local businesses affected by disasters.
Economic mobility is a central thread in the foundation’s giving. It awarded $155,550 to Saturday Morning Shoppes Inc to support vendors using a retail business incubator space, and $115,442 to Braiding with a Twist Salon Inc for a culturally responsive entrepreneurial training program for youth ages 11–17. Education and career pathways are another visible area. In 2025, SailFuture received $79,168 for the expansion of education and career pathway programs for young adults in a nontraditional educational ecosystem. The foundation also gave $118,750 to Golden Generations Inc to expand wrap-around services for young adults transitioning out of foster care. Health-related grants include $118,750 to Healthy Start Coalition of Pinellas Inc for a doula network and $93,630 to The Shirley Proctor Puller Foundation Inc for youth and parent mental health services plus professional development for mental health professionals. Disaster response also appears in the portfolio, including $100,000 to City of St Petersburg for debris clean-up after Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

Highly concentrated, place-based giving: one large, strategic grant to a local intermediary rather than many small or geographically dispersed awards. Appears to favor catalytic partnership investments intended to build infrastructure (ecosystem convenings and services) rather than direct service line-item grants.
Notable grantees: Pinellas County Urban League Inc
Typical grant sizes cluster around a modest local-regranting profile: p25 is $2,500, median is $13,500, and p75 is $47,500. The recent record also includes larger strategic awards, with several six-figure grants and a single award above $300,000. The 2025 Care Grants program shows a one-time $2,500 pattern for nonprofit staff support, while competitive and strategic programs include larger, purpose-specific awards. The portfolio shows both recurring relationships and issue continuity. Pinellas Education Foundation appears in multiple years, as does Community Foundation of Tampa Bay Inc. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it reports accepting unsolicited applications for some active programs such as capacity-building, Healthy People 2025, and systems-change leadership cohort grants.
Giving is overwhelmingly local: 84% of grants go to recipients in Florida, and the recipient country distribution is entirely U.S.-based. St. Petersburg appears repeatedly, alongside Largo, Clearwater, Tampa, and Pinellas Park. The geography is tightly centered on Pinellas County, with South St. Petersburg showing up as a recurring place-based target in program descriptions and awards. Recent grants also reach beyond the city itself to nearby county partners that connect services across the region. Clearwater organizations received support for domestic violence services and hurricane recovery, while Tampa-based recipients were funded for education, youth services, and behavioral health support.

Yes. Some organizations appear in multiple years, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. Pinellas Education Foundation received grants in 2023 and 2024, and Community Foundation of Tampa Bay Inc received grants in both 2023 and 2024.
Some active programs do accept unsolicited applications, including Capacity-Building: Strengthening Organizational Infrastructure, Healthy People 2025, and the Systems Change Leadership Cohort. Other listed emergency and care-oriented programs are not marked as accepting unsolicited applications.
