Overview
The Critical Needs List lets nonprofits share one-time, urgent and unexpected needs that impede mission-critical programming; this is not a competitive grant process but a rolling submission open throughout the year. A Fundholder Match Program provides a 1-to-3 match on grants made from a CFTB donor advised fund or family foundation to a listed need, minimum match $250 on $750 granted and maximum match $5,000 on $15,000 or more.
How to Apply
A rolling submission process open throughout the year: nonprofits submit an urgent, unexpected, unbudgeted need to be listed for fundholders and community philanthropists to fund. The list is updated at least once per month. Contact Kevin Clarke at kclarke@cftampabay.org.
