This just in: The Leadership St Pete Class of 2015, a program of the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce, is looking for a non-profit organization to assist for its class project.
LSP class members provide planning, fund-raising, and physical labor to execute a facility improvement project for a local nonprofit each year. The last several class projects have exceeded cash and in-kind donation values of more than $25,000 each.
For the seventh consecutive year, the LSP Planning Committee is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) as a means to select the class project. Interested nonprofits will be asked to submit basic information and a project plan as described in the RFP. Three nonprofits will be selected to present their proposed projects to this year’s LSP class in greater detail, and the members of the class will choose which project to implement.
To view or download the RFP and application form, visit The Chamber website. Review the RFP to see if your organization meets the selection criteria and if the LSP Class Project is a good fit for your organization at this time. Proposals are due in hard copy or electronic format by 5 p.m. on Oct. 9, 2014.

100 Second Avenue North, Suite 150

Attention: Brittany Walsh
In addition, the class project committee has instituted a mentoring program for any organization interested in applying to be the 2015 class project recipient. On request, a member of that committee will be assigned to meet with representatives of the organization, and help provide direction and resources to aid in the application process. Each of the committee members has participated in a previous project as a member of his or her class, and can provide significant additional insight regarding the selection process, and important points to make in the application. If your organization desires to participate in this mentoring program, contact the class project Committee Chair.
Specific questions about the RFP may be emailed to Class Project Committee Chair Richard A. Stoffels at rich.stoffels@stoffelslawgroup.com, Marcos Ibargüen at marcos@cmkdesignstudio.com, or Brittany Walsh with the Chamber at bwalsh@stpete.com.
