The Pinellas Community Foundation (PCF) is committed to changing lives and enhancing the quality of life in Pinellas County by awarding grants to a wide spectrum of nonprofit organizations. PCF's mission reflects the charitable visions of its donors, aiming to support diverse causes through funding 501(c)(3) nonprofit agencies.
The Pinellas Community Foundation offers general operating grants to nonprofit organizations, recognizing the challenges of covering operational costs with restricted funds. These grants are designed to allow organizations the flexibility to use the funds in the most effective ways to serve their clients. PCF now provides two-year general operating grants, disbursing two installments over the period, with no application needed for the second year. The foundation has a focus on supporting both human services and arts & culture organizations within Pinellas County. Human/Direct Community Services grants target organizations aiding in individual and communal needs through direct services, such as food banks and health clinics. Arts & Culture grants are aimed at organizations promoting creative expression, arts appreciation, and education in the arts.
