ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (PRWEB) July 26, 2018 -- This month the Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg awarded 21 nonprofit organizations grants ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 to support much-needed organizational improvements in areas such as technology, infrastructure, marketing, communications, training and planning. The grants are part of the Foundation’s investment in nonprofits in Pinellas County that are working to address social issues and problems that lead to health disparities and poor health outcomes.

The objective of these capacity-building mini-grants is to help fill some of the unmet needs that nonprofits in our area are faced with.

Post this

The first countywide assessment of the nonprofit sector, released by the Foundation in May, revealed that many nonprofits in Pinellas County lack access to unrestricted funds to make improvements in their organizations that would help them fulfill their missions and better serve the public. These grants are designed to provide the flexible funds needed to pursue such projects over the next three to nine months.

Here’s how the 21 organizations will use a total of $398,341:

211 TAMPA BAY CARES, INC. - $20,000 to support the development of a comprehensive Next Generation 211 strategic vision plan.

ADOLESCENT SEXUAL HEALTH COLLABORATIVE (FISCAL AGENT: LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS EDUCATION FUND) - $20,000 to develop and launch a website, provide digital marketing outreach, purchase technology and implement a two-year strategic plan for increased sexual health education and resource access in Pinellas County.

GUARDIAN AD LITEM FOUNDATION OF TAMPA BAY - $13,000 for a streamlined and integrated children’s needs request management software, to develop a measurable program outcome assessment tool to provide community training and to develop an evidenced-based lending library.

GULF COAST JEWISH FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES, INC. - $20,000 to adopt a Learning Management System to increase organizational efficiency, bolster staff retention and development and better monitor agency compliance.

The findings of the Nonprofit Assessment Report, created in partnership with the Nonprofit Leadership Center of Tampa Bay, offered a current snapshot into Pinellas County’s nonprofit sector strengths and challenges. The objective of these capacity-building mini-grants is to help fill some of the unmet needs that nonprofits in our area are faced with.

The needs identified in the assessment have also led the Foundation to invest in a Board Development Summit, fundraising trainings and individual agency assessments, in partnership with the Nonprofit Leadership Center. Information on these opportunities will be available soon.
