We understand space is very expensive in Tampa Bay, limited, and not always easy to access, which hinders many important programs, ideas, and organizations from being able to deliver positive community impact. Our charitable giving initiative addresses this directly by removing this barrier for those who meet our criteria.
The Pro Bono Space Program provides centrally located, accessible space to conduct impactful programming at No Cost to the facilitator.
Funds directly support local nonprofits and community members who conduct free educational programs or host free community events. The Guinn Center welcomes you to come share your skills, passions, and good deeds with all. We look forward to partnering with you.
Upon board review, the decision to award pro bono and discounted space donations is based on overall impact to the center and the community as a whole.
Applicants may request one-time use, or reoccuring use, of one, or multiple rooms. Please be as detailed as possible with your request so our board can easily understand the value and impact of your request
Partners who are approved will have access to the center including the use of WiFi, chairs, tables, and common areas like the lobby, kitchen, bathrooms, and of course free parking. Limited storage options are available but must be approved by the center.
Approved partners will receive a private code to access and use the center. Codes are configured to work during the partner's approved times of use. The center is available to partners 24/7, as there are no official hours of operation. There is also no staff. The Guinn Center is managed virtually but there is always someone on call close by should you need anything related to the campus.
