TEAM Punta Gorda was founded in November 2004 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. We have been blessed with volunteers who have vision, determination, courage, commitment, and pride…a signature of our community. TEAM has consistently contributed to the community’s rebirth and is positioned to continue this effort well into the future. Check out the WHAT WE DO section of this website for more information about major projects and a list of What We’ve Done.

Achieving these results requires financial support. TEAM is completely reliant on the contributions from our supporters to help further our mission. Funding sources include:

• Donations from citizens

TEAM Punta Gorda is an all volunteer organization. That’s right—TEAM operates with all volunteer help including the Chief Executive Officer. This makes TEAM’s return on investment to our community incredibly strong. In addition to the extensive list of accomplishments mentioned above, community support also allows TEAM to:
