A call for resiliency from our nonprofit sector
In a region shaped by both impressionable neighborly compassion and vulnerability, the strength of our nonprofit sector has never been more important.
Over the past year, Pinellas County has faced two major hurricanes, continued economic pressures, and a shifting philanthropic landscape. Yet our local nonprofits remain constant, steadfast in their missions, agile in how they deliver their services and programs, and deeply rooted in the communities they uplift. These organizations are the backbone of our human services network and the heartbeat of our cultural identity.
Their commitment inspires us. Their challenges compel us—their resilience demands for partnership.
One of the greatest lessons we continue to learn is this: the time to invest in long-term sustainability is before the storm.

New report: It’s getting hard to ‘make ends meet’ in Pinellas
In Pinellas County, the “survival budget” for a family of four surged 9% to $108,480 – the highest in Florida, according to a new study released by the United Way Suncoast.
That study, “The State of ALICE in Florida,” looked at the financial prospects of local households focusing on “ALICE” households: “Asset Limited, Income Constrained, and Employed.” This attempts to measure families who are not captured by poverty statistics but are nevertheless struggling to make the money they need to keep up their households.
“These are a group of people who have jobs and who earn income above the federal poverty line but still struggle to make ends meet,” according to Ernest Hooper, a spokesman for The United Way Suncoast.
The important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men.
