Ways to give
More than one way to keep it free.

Where the money goes.
- 100% of gifts stay inside Tampa Bay programming.
- Young people are paid for their creative work, not volunteered out.
- Every program is run with a local partner — schools, barbers, the HOPE Center.
- We publish what we spend, program by program.
For your taxes
Need a donation letter?
Black N Tampa is a Tampa-based nonprofit. If you need written acknowledgment of your gift for tax purposes — for yourself, your employer's matching program, or your company's records — we'll send a dated letter with the amount, the date received, and a statement that no goods or services were provided in exchange.
- Requesting one: check "I need a tax letter" when you give, or email us anytime — we don't need you to donate again to reissue it.
- Turnaround: letters go out by email within 5 business days. Year-end summary letters for recurring donors are sent every January.
- In-kind gifts: books, garden supplies, and equipment get a letter describing the donation — you assign the value, per IRS rules.
- Employer matching: send us your company's form and we'll complete and return it.
