Community Data, Tools, and Reports

The Community Dashboard provides insights for philanthropy, nonprofit organizations, businesses, government, and learning institutions to guide informed decisions utilizing data from reputable sources set in local context. 

• Data gives us the opportunity to better understand the lives and circumstances of all our neighbors, colleagues, and friends. 
• By learning about the diversity of our community that is revealed through data, we intentionally examine bright spots and gaps in the areas of economy, education, health and housing as the basis for considering how we can work together to cultivate a community where everyone has opportunities to thrive. 
• Decision-making at the intersection of knowledge and equity allows for community-minded choices while fostering participation, transparency, and trust. 

The Giving Partner, presented by the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, enables all of us to explore how local nonprofit organizations are making a difference in the greater Sarasota area. As a centralized nonprofit directory for year-round awareness, engagement, and giving, this is a trusted resource for grant makers and other entities in their philanthropic research. This powerful, searchable database contains over 700 profiles of 501(c)(3), or specific 501(c)(4), charitable organizations serving Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, and DeSoto counties. Each profile reflects the organization’s commitment to transparency and includes comprehensive information about their results and impact, leadership, financial health, and more.
