What is the Tampa Bay Resiliency Fund?

The Tampa Bay Resiliency Fund (TBRF) is a strategic collaboration of the Pinellas Community Foundation, Allegany Franciscan Ministries, Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg and United Way Suncoast. This partnership was launched to help critical nonprofit organizations that aid the community during times of disaster. It has now been activated to aid Tampa Bay organizations helping those suffering from the effects of Hurricane Helene.
