As part of the Joy McCann Foundation’s priority of supporting concerned efforts to build a more vibrant Tampa Bay Area Community, the Foundation administers a small grant program available to a limited number of organizations within Florida and the greater Tampa community.  The Community Enrichment Grants Program focuses on organizations designated by the Foundation’s founders as those entities they “wish to continue to support”.  A list of eligible designated charities can be found by visiting Designated Organizations.

Through the Community Grants, the Joy McCann Foundation strives to assist these community organizations in delivering services that bolster the well-being of their patrons and stimulate the development of the charities’ special expertise in serving the community.  This guideline- which is purposefully broad- allows the designated organizations to be creative in:

• Proposing innovative ideas and
• Defining emerging needs.

Community Enrichment Grants of $25,000 are awarded on a semi-annual giving cycle. Each designated organization is eligible to receive a grant only once in each calendar year.  For detailed grant guidelines and application instructions, please visit the following pages:
