The Trey Curry Foundation

What The Trey Curry Foundation does

The Trey Curry Foundation is a small, family-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Brandon, Florida, founded in 2008 in memory of Trey Curry, who died on March 1, 2008. Its stated mission is to provide financial assistance to children with learning differences and medical needs. The foundation operates with approximately five employees and is staffed and governed by the Curry family, with Mary Beth Curry serving as Executive Director and Terry, Clif, and Colton Curry in board and operational roles.

The foundation's primary outputs are direct financial grants to families and two institutionalized program assets: an endowed scholarship at Hillsborough Community College and the Trey Curry Foundation House at A Kid's Place of Tampa Bay, a licensed childcare facility. There is no proprietary technology platform; program delivery is human-coordinated and relationship-driven rather than technology-mediated.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through event-based fundraising. The portfolio consists of the Vine to Wine gala, the TreyFest fishing tournament, and associated silent auctions and sponsorships. Sponsorship tiers are segmented from $500 (Merlot) to $10,000 (Champagne), with individual event tickets priced at $200. There is no evidence of institutional grant funding, recurring donor programs, digital fundraising channels, or earned-income streams, which creates a concentration risk in any single event's performance.
