We’re thrilled to share that The Blue Urban Project has been chosen to join the Fall 2025 Mockingbird Nonprofit Incubator Cohort! Out of more than 290 applicants nationwide, our veteran-founded nonprofit was selected for an 8-week program of learning, connection, and growth, all designed to help grassroots organizations like ours scale our impact.

As part of this opportunity, we’ve been given a fundraising challenge: raise $1,000. If we succeed, we’ll unlock a bonus match from Givebutter, doubling the power of your gift!

Your donation directly fuels our mission of building resilient coastal communities through sustainable urban development and marine conservation. From restoring local waterways to piloting innovative projects like green roof bus shelters and floating wetlands, we are working every day to create a healthier, more sustainable future for St. Pete and beyond.

By contributing, you’re not just helping us meet this challenge, you’re investing in a stronger, more resilient community where people and our coastal environment thrive together.

Help Us Get to $1,000 by October 31st!
