Pinellas Community Foundation

Pinellas Community Foundation (pcf) seeks effective solutions for Pinellas county's most challenging social, environmental and educational issues, while supporting the advancement of arts and culture. Pcf is the only charitable Foundation of its kind solely dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for all Pinellas county residents. In 2021, more than 100 charitable organizations received donor-funded grants to support their Community programs. It is thanks to the generosity of donors that this work is possible. Grants from pcf improve the quality of life by bringing together philanthropy and solutions to local issues. Grants support solutions to a broad range of issues including childhood hunger, homelessness, access to healthcare, arts education, and college scholarships. Pcf provides Community leadership through the exploration of particular Community needs and challenges. During the year 2021, pcf convened Community partners to learn more about the vitality and vulnerabilities of our aging population. Pcf developed the moniker act ii to celebrate this special population and recognize their many contributions during the second act of life. Also, pcf worked with partners to launch a comprehensive Community needs assessment to more concretely understand the needs of our aging Community. With partners, this needs assessment process will take place in year 2021.
