Tampa Christmas Giving Fund – Helping Local Kids & Families in Need

We are a small group of young entrepreneurs here in Tampa who feel extremely blessed this year and we want to bless as many families as possible this Christmas. We’re all in a position where we can give back personally, and we want to use the influence and network we have - both online and in person such as government programs like The Children's Network - to help even more families than we could on our own.

Our goal is simple: Help as many kids and families in and around the Tampa area as we can this Christmas.

Once funds begin coming in, we’re planning to work directly with:

  • Local school counselors
  • Angel Tree and school gift programs
  • Community organizations
  • Churches and family shelters

These people and programs already know which families are struggling the most, and they’ll guide us toward those who truly need help.

Every dollar raised will go toward things like:

  • Christmas gifts for kids
  • Grocery cards for families
  • Basic necessities
  • Help with essential bills
  • Supporting school-based holiday programs

As we distribute funds, we’ll share transparent updates (while respecting everyone’s privacy) so donors can see exactly how their contributions are making an impact.

We’re not a nonprofit. We’re not an organization.
We’re just a group of young business owners who want to step up and do something good.

If you feel blessed this year too or even if you just want to be part of something positive, we’d be grateful for anything you choose to give. Your support helps us reach more families than we ever could alone.

Thank you for helping us make Christmas a little brighter for people in need.
Tampa has been good to us, and we want to pay that forward.

How Funds Will Be Used

For transparency, here’s the breakdown of how funds will be used:

  • Gift cards (Walmart, Target, Publix)
  • Purchasing gifts for school-based programs
  • Supporting Angel Trees and verified local needs
  • Grocery support for struggling families
  • Covering essential utilities or bills for nominated families
  • Additional holiday assistance recommended by schools or community partners

Every dollar will go toward helping kids and families this Christmas.
No administrative cuts. No overhead. No personal use. Ever.

Updates We Will Provide

As donations come in, we’ll post:

  • Photos of gifts purchased (without showing personal info)
  • Simple written updates about which programs or families were supported
  • Total families helped

Your trust means everything, so we will keep this transparent the whole way.

Thank You

Whether you’re donating, sharing the link, or simply supporting the mission, thank you. It means more than you know.

Let’s make Christmas a little brighter for Tampa this year!
