Community Outreach

Community Engagement Network

As part of the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council's commitment to include and empower the voices of historically underrepresented and marginalized communities across the region, using the resources started by the Clean Air Tampa Bay initiative. In partnership with The Sustany Foundation, we aim to create a space for continuous collaboration across the region where resources, data, and funding opportunities can be shared. Through this network, we will build a long-term partnership that outlives project grant cycles and builds on previous efforts, rather than starting from scratch with each project.

Members of the Community Engagement Network will be able to:

Strengthen work through the exchange of available data, resources, successful practices, and funding opportunities
Represent their community's needs and priorities across the region
Expand your partnerships with organizations that share your goals and values
Bring change to your community by collaborating on current and future projects

Want to participate? Each quarter we will have an in-person and virtual event.
