NON-PROFIT FUNDING APPLICATION

For over 90 years, the St. Petersburg Women’s Chamber of Commerce has been focused on women’s volunteerism and women-owned businesses in Pinellas County. We work to raise funds for our community to support a variety of charitable, cultural, and educational organizations.

Each year the St. Petersburg Women’s Chamber of Commerce accepts grant applications from area non-profits.  Applications for 2025 are now closed; stay tuned for the 2026 application period.

The organization applying for consideration must have a 501(c)3 status and regularly file a 990 with the Internal Revenue Service. The organization’s headquarters must be in Pinellas County and all business should be conducted within Pinellas.

At our Annual Fundraiser in the Spring (May 20, 2025), we would expect your organization’s support in the following ways: 

o Attend at least three of the WCC monthly meetings prior to the Annual Fundraiser for Q&A from membership.

o Board membership support with attendance to board meetings

o Facilitate sponsorship efforts

o Not have a major event for your organization from 30 days before our fundraiser to 30 days after our fundraiser.

o Promote the fundraiser event to your membership community and mailing lists via eblast, postal mailing, and social media

o Provide appropriate Live or Silent Auction Items (minimum of one item, value of at least $100)

o Provide volunteer support at the Annual Fundraiser (two volunteers for the booth at the event)

At the right is the Grant Request Application.
