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.

$25 → Plants three native wetland plants, or equips 10 cleanup volunteers.
$50 → Supplies one first aid bag for our disaster relief efforts.
$100 → Purchases native plants for our floating wetlands or green roof bus shelter projects.
$250 → Covers materials for stormwater education kits used in community workshops.
$500 → Funds one month of water quality testing and data collection with our research partners.
$1,000 → Powers a full community cleanup event, including volunteer coordination, safety gear, and disposal of collected debris.
