What Positive Spin, Inc. does

Positive Spin, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community-based social service agency headquartered at 5118 N. 56th Street, Suite 224, Tampa, Florida, serving Hillsborough County and the broader Tampa Bay community. Founded in 2007 by Harriet L. Scott, a Master-level Social Work Administrator, the organization engages, elevates, and strengthens families through a portfolio of integrated programs including case management (EACH One Initiative), housing assistance, family team conferencing, financial literacy classes, job training and placement, youth programs (Girls Club, Boys Club, tutoring, sports and recreation), and emergency aid (food pantry, clothing, furniture, utility support). The organization reports having served approximately 5,500 families cumulatively, with a primary client base of single-parent-led households (71% of those served) earning $20,000 or less annually (83% of households).

The organization operates without a proprietary technology platform; service delivery relies on direct human case management, home visits, workshops, and referrals through a broad partner network. Revenue is generated entirely through donations from individuals and corporate donors (giving levels ranging from $250 to $30,000), foundation and government grants (notably W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Florida Blue Foundation, United Way Suncoast, Florida Department of Children and Families, Hillsborough County), and annual fundraising events such as the Annual Bowling Fundraiser, with sponsorship tiers from $250 to $5,000. The target population is served free of charge, making donor and grant funding the sole economic engine. The organization is staffed by 1–10 employees under the leadership of Executive Director Jada McMillon (joined 2007, 25+ years of child welfare experience) and CFO Patti Grimminger (joined 2020, 39 years of accounting experience including 25 in the non-profit sector), with governance provided by a Board of Directors chaired by DJENEÉ DUNN.
