5 St. Petersburg Nonprofits To Support This Holiday Season

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — If you’re like many of your St. Petersburg neighbors, you may spend a good part of the holiday season with your credit card in hand buying gifts for family and friends. Coming up soon is a chance to give back to the local community.

Giving Tuesday, which in 2024 falls on Dec. 3, is a day dedicated to supporting nonprofit and community groups. Since 2012, nonprofits worldwide have used the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to galvanize fundraising, rally volunteers and add momentum to their causes.

Maintaining funding is a constant challenge for many nonprofits that fill gaps and meet other needs in the St. Petersburg area.

Here are five local nonprofits to consider getting behind on Giving Tuesday:

1. Tampa Bay Watch, an organization dedicated to the protection and restoration of the Tampa Bay estuary.
2. The Kind Mouse, a food pantry for children and their families.
3. CASA Pinellas, which provides domestic violence support and services.
4. The Woodson Museum, which has a goal of presenting, preserving and interpreting African American history.
5. St. Petersburg Arts Alliance, which supports and advocates for the city’s creative community — artists, arts and cultural organizations, and creative businesses.
