The Bel-Mar Committee at PCPC is pleased to announce the opening of the Bel-Mar Fund "grant portal" for this 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 Casa Bel-Mar which provides 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

Between January 5- March 31, 2026, the Bel-Mar Committee will accept and consider requests submitted by PCPC members or committees on behalf of a 501(c)3 organization that does work aligned with this mission. If you know of such an organization and would like to request funding for it, you may obtain a Grant Application via the link below or in the PCPC church office. Questions about the process may be directed by email to: Rydbergmarsha@gmail.com.
