Season of Sharing

The Giving Partner, powered by the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, allows local nonprofits to tell their story at all levels to communicate to all audiences. 

This is a powerful, searchable online database with over 700 profiles of charitable organizations serving Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, and DeSoto counties. 

Our goal is to share information about nonprofits that serve our local area, to help our community learn how each nonprofit makes a difference, as well as discover how to engage in the causes you care about most and inspire philanthropy. 

Each 501(c)(3) organization’s profile includes holistic information on the nonprofit’s:

  • Core Mission and Needs
  • Programmatic Impact
  • Leadership
  • Planning
  • Financial Health

To be eligible for grants and other opportunities, nonprofits are required to maintain an up-to-date profile. A nonprofit profile with an Approved/Current badge (status) signifies that the organization provided required content and key information was validated by our team (this is not a grade, rating, or certification). 

Already have a profile?

Be sure to review your profile and make updates so that local donors, funders, and community members are better informed about your unique impact in our community.
