The Giving Challenge is happening right now.
From noon April 15 to noon April 16.
For the Climate Adaptation Center, this is one of the most important moments of the year.
During this 24-hour window:
Every donation is tripled.
$100 becomes $300
thanks to The Patterson Foundation and CAC matching donors.
That means what you do right now has three times the impact on the future of the Suncoast.
So where does the money go?
It supports the work that helps our community stay informed, prepared, and safer in a warming climate.
A trusted source for local climate information
More than 61,000 people have already visited CAC to understand how climate impacts are affecting the Suncoast.
Not in a general way.
Specifically for our region.
Helping people make better decisions about their homes, businesses, and future.
Hurricane Season Forecast Day – built for the Suncoast
In just days, CAC will deliver its Suncoast-focused hurricane forecast.
While national forecasts exist, CAC answers the question that matters most:
What does this season mean for us?
So families, businesses, and decision-makers can prepare before storms arrive.
Bringing leaders together to act
Through the Florida Climate Conference and Climate Champions Awards, CAC brings together:
-
scientists
-
engineers
-
business leaders
-
community leaders
All focused on making this region stronger and better prepared.
The next step – the Suncoast Living Laboratory
CAC is building something forward-looking:
The Suncoast Living Laboratory
An effort designed to:
-
better understand climate risks
-
test real-world solutions
-
support smarter decision-making across the region
Why it matters
This work helps reduce the very real risks of living in a:
-
hurricane-prone
-
climate-impacted
area like the Suncoast.
It is about protecting lives, homes, and the future of our community.
And right now, your impact is tripled
