Overview

Mission

The mission of the downtown waterfront parks foundation is to support and advocate for the preservation and enhancement of the historic waterfront parks of st. Petersburg, Florida to ensure their future for the enjoyment of residents and visitors.

What it reported doing in 2020

Annual plantings to downtown city parks. Extra beautification is expense that otherwise would not be in the city's budget.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. The available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
