Allegany Franciscan Ministries has awarded a transformative three-year grant to the Nonprofit Leadership Center (NLC), totaling $150,000 to support nonprofit capacity and leadership — reinforcing its commitment to support general operations and strategic initiatives that elevate nonprofit excellence and sustainability.
This grant opportunity represents a strong alignment between two mission-driven organizations working to advance equity, compassion, and impact across the communities they serve. The investment will enable NLC to expand critical programming, deepen nonprofit leadership development, and enhance sector-wide capacity building efforts throughout the Tampa Bay region.
“This is more than a grant — it’s a vote of confidence in the enduring value of leadership and infrastructure in the nonprofit sector. We are grateful to Allegany Franciscan Ministries for their vision and commitment to organizations that create lasting change through thoughtful investment in people and strategy.”
Charlie Imbergamo, CEO of the Nonprofit Leadership Center
