Research Nonprofits

Identifying a nonprofit organization that embodies specific charitable interests can be daunting. The Giving Partner, a powerful online tool, helps donors make more informed decisions about their charitable giving.  The site provides quick and easy access to an abundance of important facts about charitable organizations serving our four-county area and beyond.

With over 700 organizations serving 30 philanthropic categories, The Giving Partner provides information about the needs of the people and places they care for.

In the spirit of complete transparency, each nonprofit creates their profile by entering their information in the online platform (The Giving Partner). The Community Foundation reviews and validates key information regarding their core mission and needs, programmatic impact, leadership, planning, and financial health. To be eligible for grants and other opportunities, nonprofits are required to maintain an up-to-date profile. A profile with an Approved/Current badge/status signifies that the organization provided the required content and key information was reviewed by our team (this is not a grade, rating, or certification).

The Community Foundation of Sarasota County has reviewed each organization’s profile in The Giving Partner for completeness of the information, however, we depend on our nonprofit partners for the accuracy of the information provided.

If you are a donor or a community member seeking to research an issue or a specific nonprofit, The Giving Partner is your local resource for making informed charitable decisions in our community!
