Our Mission

Positively Impacting Our Community

After the completion of various improvements in the Hyde Park community, it became clear that our neighborhoods are blessed with people who believe in giving back to the community. The creation of the Hyde Park Community Fund would only advance that spirit through philanthropy, vision and leadership on ways for the community to improve sustainability.

Lessening the burdens of government such as community cleanups, maintaining common area landscaping elements, raising funds for public improvement projects of government owned properties all coordinated with the City of Tampa, Hillsborough County Expressway Authority, Florida Department of Transportation and Southwest Florida Water Management District.

  • Charitable economic development
  • Beautification of common area elements
  • Arts and cultural activities
  • Historical preservation

Hyde Park Community Fund, Inc. is a Florida 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
