The Giving Partner, presented by the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, allows local nonprofits to tell their story at all levels, and allows all of us to explore how each nonprofit is making a difference.
This powerful, searchable database contains the profiles of 501(c)(3) charitable organizations serving Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, and DeSoto counties. Each organization’s profile reflects holistic information including core mission, needs, programmatic impact/outcomes, leadership, planning, and financial health. To be eligible for grants and other opportunities, nonprofits are required to maintain a profile with an Approved/CURRENT status, which signifies that the organization provided the required content and key information was reviewed by our team.
We are happy to provide this resource to help our community discover and engage in specific causes, and to inspire philanthropy!
*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. This is not a grade, rating, or certification.
