The Bel-Mar Committee at PCPC is pleased to announce the opening of the Bel-Mar Fund "grant portal" for the upcoming year. When the Bel-Mar Presbyterian Church merged with Palma Ceia Presbyterian Church, there was a sizeable influx of funds from the sale of the Bel-Mar church property that accrued to the Bel-Mar Corp under the guidance of PCPC. That property is the site of the soon-to-open Casa Bel-Mar which will provide 100 units of much needed affordable housing in South Tampa. The funds are being put to use in a thoughtful and measured philanthropic way each year in order to align with the visions and missions of our church: 

To promote the charitable, religious and Christian educational purposes of PCPC

Over the next 4 -5 months, the Bel-Mar Committee will consider requests from organizations familiar to members of our congregation that do work aligned with this mission and that would benefit from incremental funding. If you know of such an organization and would like to receive the Grant Application - or if you have questions about the Bel-Mar Fund process - please contact Rick McClintock at rick.mcclintock@verizon.net. Thank you, and the Committee looks forward to putting these funds to good work!
