Fund the kids
this city forgot to fund.
Black N Tampa runs five free programs — tutoring, literacy, youth entrepreneurship, a neighborhood garden, and free mental-health care — with no cost to a single family. Give any amount you want; donations are what keep them free.
What your gift does
Every dollar has a name attached to it.
$100
A Books to Barbers shelf
Stocks a barbershop with a rotating library so kids read out loud while they wait for the chair.
$500
A season in the garden
Seeds, soil, and grow bags for a full growing season at the HOPE Center community garden — food that stays in the neighborhood.
Any amount
You name the number
$7 or $7,000 — give whatever fits your budget, once or monthly. Every dollar goes straight into free programming.
Ways to give
More than one way to keep it free.
Give monthly
A recurring gift is what lets us promise a family that next week's tutoring session still happens. $10, $25, or $100 a month — cancel anytime.
Give any amount
$7 or $7,000. Every one-time gift goes straight into free programming, and a tax letter is available on request.
Sponsor a program
Underwrite a Youth Business Fair booth, a season in the garden, a Books to Barbers site, or a block of tutoring — with your name on it.

Many employers match employee donations dollar for dollar. Send us your company's matching form and we'll complete and return it — your gift counts twice.
Submit a match →Give goods, not dollars

Foundations, family funds, and major donors can cover a full program year. We'll walk you through the budget line by line.
Request the budget →Give to a specific program
Tell us which program your gift is for and we'll designate it: Power Hour tutoring, Books to Barbers literacy, the Youth Business Fair, the Belmont Heights community garden, or Rooted & Well mental-health care.
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.
