The Diamond In The Rough Initiative (TDITR) FAQs

frequently asked questions

Why donate to TDITR?

As champions of compassion and change, we prioritize serving homeless individuals and families, as well as survivors of domestic abuse. Through our unwavering commitment to feed the homeless and support those affected by domestic abuse, we provide vital assistance and create pathways to hope and healing. Join us in our mission to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those facing adversity, one act of kindness at a time.

Where do my dollars go?

We work to ensure that every dollar you donate to TDITR serves the community we care for as efficiently as possible. Our organization holds monthly Community Giveback events at Borrell Park in Tampa. At these events, we support an average of 85 individuals from underprivileged backgrounds each month. These events provide essential services, including food, clothing, necessities, free haircuts, and showers (available every other month). While we do receive some donations of food and clothing, we also purchase bedding, toiletries, undergarments, socks, and supplement the food and water for these events. To provide the free showers, we have partnered with another non-profit to offer shower services to the homeless community.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Yes, TDITR is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization able to receive tax-deductible contributions year-round. Your charitable contribution will go directly toward the resources that TDITR provides the Tampa Bay community of underprivileged individuals and families. Our EIN/Tax ID number is 99-1485212.
