Tampa, Florida (February 25, 2026) – Florida Philanthropic Network and Impala today announced the launch of the Florida Philanthropy Hub, a first-of-its-kind, one-stop platform designed to bring unprecedented clarity and transparency to the Florida philanthropic sector.

The Florida Philanthropy Hub brings together billions of data points on every Florida-based nonprofit and foundation across the United States that funds them. With detailed classifications spanning issue areas such as education, climate, health, and arts and culture, the Hub creates a comprehensive “map” of philanthropy in Florida, revealing where funding is flowing, where gaps exist, and where new opportunities for collaboration can drive greater impact.

“Understanding who funds what is essential to doing effective work in the nonprofit sector—yet for too long, that information has been unnecessarily difficult or costly to access,” said Ashley Dietz, President and CEO at Florida Philanthropic Network. “By putting high-quality, accessible data directly into the hands of funders, nonprofits, and community leaders, Impala helps ensure organizations across Florida can more easily find and align resources, so they can stay focused on meeting the needs of their communities.”

By combining Impala’s cutting-edge data technology with the reach of Florida Philanthropic Network, the Florida Philanthropy Hub democratizes access to information and fosters collaboration across the sector. FPN is investing directly in the region by making this resource available to all FPN members through March 2027, ensuring that they can all benefit from greater visibility into Florida's philanthropic landscape.

“With the right data, nonprofits and funders can amplify their stories and find the partners they need to make a real difference,” notes Ashley Dietz. “The Florida Philanthropy Hub offers a transparent view of the landscape, giving organizations the power to build smarter, stronger connections across the region.”
