Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of Florida

What Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of Florida does

The Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of Florida (IMA-FL) is a Florida-incorporated non-profit organization founded in 1925 that convenes interdenominational faith leaders for community advocacy and direct service delivery. Its primary operational focus is the St. Petersburg/Tampa Bay area, where it runs the Legacy Center on the historic Deuces corridor, a community hub providing workspace for organizations, innovators, and artists, and housing the 'On Deck' entrepreneurship and workforce development incubator. IMA-FL operates programmatic initiatives spanning faith leadership unity, HIV/AIDS prevention, the 'Love Your Neighbor' opioid response campaign in partnership with Live Tampa Bay, a poverty reduction initiative targeting structural inequities in Black and Brown communities, and advocacy for equitable community benefits within the $6 billion, 86-acre Historic Gas Plant redevelopment of the former Tropicana Field site.

The organization's business model is non-commercial: services are provided free of charge, with no disclosed pricing, subscription, or product revenue streams. Inputs and outputs are governed by mission rather than unit economics, and there are no disclosed funding rounds, grants, donor financials, or headcount figures in the source material. Leadership is a small board comprising CEO/Executive Director Rev. J.C. Pritchett II, who also serves as Faith Outreach Director for Live Tampa Bay, alongside Directors Rev. Markus-Derek White and Pastor Princess Hemingway. There is no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no proprietary technology stack; the digital presence is limited to a Squarespace-hosted website and standard social media channels used primarily for public service announcements and community engagement.

Direct peers

• Faith in Action: Faith in Action (formerly PICO National Network) organizes interfaith congregations for community change on issues like housing, health, and equity. IMA's clergy-led, congregation-based advocacy on redevelopment and public health is a comparable organizing model.
• NAACP: The NAACP is the largest U.S. civil rights organization focused on political, educational, social, and economic equality for African Americans. IMA mirrors this advocacy mission at the local St. Petersburg level, particularly around poverty reduction and equitable redevelopment, making it directly comparable on constituency and issue focus.
• National Council of Churches: The National Council of Churches is a leading ecumenical body of U.S. Christian denominations that coordinates faith-based advocacy on social issues. IMA's interdenominational coalition structure mirrors this ecumenical model, though IMA operates at the local ministerial level rather than the national denominational level.
• Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC): SCLC is a faith-based civil rights organization built on interfaith ministerial leadership and community mobilization. IMA's interdenominational clergy model, focus on poverty and health disparities, and engagement in economic justice trace directly to the SCLC tradition, making it the closest structural peer.
• National Urban League: The National Urban League drives economic empowerment, civil rights, and community development for African American communities through local affiliates. Like IMA, it combines advocacy, workforce development, and entrepreneurship support, serving highly comparable target populations and program mixes.

Broad incumbents

• Habitat for Humanity International: Habitat is a large, faith-based nonprofit building affordable housing through volunteer and partner congregations. IMA shares the faith-rooted community development orientation and serves overlapping populations, but at a much smaller and more localized scale.

Emerging players

• Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC): LISC is a national community development financial institution funding affordable housing, economic development, and health initiatives in underinvested neighborhoods. The On Deck incubator and Gas Plant redevelopment advocacy align IMA with LISC's neighborhood-equity thesis, though IMA operates at a smaller local scale.
