Do Good, Then Do Lunch
Create meaningful partnerships with local nonprofits, and get a hands-on giving-back experience into your meeting agenda.
Visit St. Pete-Clearwater partners with local nonprofits to offer Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) friendly volunteer and donation opportunities that can be added directly to a meeting or incentive agenda.
Beyond formal CSR programming, groups can extend that same intentionality into how they experience the destination as a whole. Choosing locally owned restaurants and experience providers, supporting conservation-minded businesses, and building in time to explore the community and culture that shape St. Pete-Clearwater all add up — helping ensure the group's visit leaves a positive footprint, not just a great trip report.
Give Your Group's Trip a Little More Purpose
Travel shapes the places it touches, and meetings are no exception. St. Pete-Clearwater makes it easy for groups to travel with intention — supporting local conservation efforts, community organizations, and the people who call this destination home, all while building in the kind of shared experience that brings a team closer together.
The following non-profit organizations offer CSR-friendly group volunteering and/or donation opportunities:
