LSP Community Project application deadline extended

St. Petersburg, FLLocal News

Leadership St. Pete has officially extended the application deadline for nonprofits seeking to become the 2025 Community Project recipient, a move prompted by the recent Hurricane Helene. Originally set for an earlier date, the new deadline is now October 7 at 4:00 p. m. , allowing nonprofits additional time to submit their applications online.

Leadership St. Pete's initiative aims to empower local nonprofits by providing them with essential resources and funding for impactful community projects. Organizations interested in applying can access the application link through the Leadership St. Pete website.

The decision to extend the deadline underscores the organization's commitment to fostering resilience and support within the community. By allowing more time for applications, Leadership St. Pete hopes to attract a diverse range of proposals that can make a meaningful difference. This effort is part of a broader strategy to enhance community engagement and support in the wake of recent adversities.
