Ifi Heritage Center's NPO Program Concept & Initiation

I want to brainstorm on creating a Heritage Center Program focused on funding, management, and sustainability around three programs: cultural history events and programs, performing arts concerts and stage shows, and health and spiritual wellness. I also want to include two cohorts with the local high school to help students learn business principles, build self-esteem, and develop coping skills for success through mentorship.
At Ifi Heritage Center, our vision is to transform South Hillsborough County into a premier cultural destination, driving economic growth and celebrating its diverse heritage. By uniting art, history, and community, we spark local business, inspire pride, and create lasting impact, empowering all generations to thrive through vibrant cultural experiences and shared creative opportunity.
The Ifi Heritage Center’s Performing Arts Student Cohort offers high school students from South Hillsborough County and Northern Manatee County a gateway to real-world experience in the arts, expanding our educational program to include set design and construction as a career-building pathway.
The Women’s Health & Spiritual Wellness Program at Ifi Heritage Center is a multi-generational initiative designed to empower women and girls through holistic health education, financial wellness, stress management, and spiritual balance. Recognizing that women across ages face distinct developmental, social, financial, and health challenges, the program provides age-appropriate workshops, mentoring, and support circles.
