Press Release

The City of Pompano Beach will be accepting online nonprofit partnership requests from April 3^rd until May 5^th for the Fiscal Year 2023-2024. The City receives nonprofit partnership requests once a year via the City’s website at https://pompanobeachfl.gov/community. Nonprofit organizations need to provide services/programs that are beneficial to the residents of the City of Pompano Beach and that expand the services the City is currently not in a position to provide to the residents. In addition, nonprofit organizations should work to achieve our strategic goals and highlight our rich cultural make-up as a community. Strategic Philanthropy Inc. will be administering the Nonprofit Program on behalf of the City of Pompano Beach.

Due to the number of requests the City of Pompano Beach receives, the City has prioritized its giving to three funding priorities that align with the City’s Strategic Plan 2021-2036. The proposed program and/or event must focus on one or more of the three funding priorities:
