Seminole Heights

What Seminole Heights does

The Old Seminole Heights Neighborhood Association (OSHNA) is a Florida-based nonprofit civic organization that serves as the official neighborhood association for Old Seminole Heights, a historic residential district in Tampa bounded by the Hillsborough River and several major arterials. It is described as Tampa's largest neighborhood association with over 500 members, and its institutional roots extend back to the 1926 Seminole Heights Civic Club. OSHNA's core offerings are civic rather than technological: annual individual memberships ($10) and business memberships ($25), a quarterly General Membership town hall, monthly porch parties, an annual Home Tour fundraiser (Tampa's oldest, averaging 750–1,000 attendees and supported by 100+ volunteers), the Bungalow Alerts email newsletter distributed via Constant Contact, $12 neighborhood crime watch signs, and OSHNA-branded merchandise sold through an Etsy storefront in partnership with the Seminole Heights PTA. The technology stack is minimal — a website (oldseminoleheights.org) and email platform — with no proprietary software, AI, or platform architecture.

Revenue is generated entirely through community-sourced streams: membership dues, donations (with IRS letters issued above $250), Home Tour ticket and sponsorship revenue, and modest merchandise and signage sales. The organization also received a one-off grant from the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners that funded a recent website overhaul. Distribution and member acquisition occur through self-serve channels: the website with PayPal membership checkout, Eventbrite for Home Tour ticketing, the Etsy merchandise storefront, direct sales of crime watch signs, and an organic social presence on Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. There is no physical office — operations are run from a PO Box (PO Box 360022, Tampa, FL 33673) and a single shared email inbox ([email protected]), overseen by a nine-member volunteer board (four officers and five trustees) including President Jarrod Bray, Vice President Maureen O'Brien, Treasurer Jeffery Silverstein, Secretary Bill Hunter, and trustees Jeni Armstrong, Shirley Smith, Josh Frank, and Tim Burke.
