Tampa Studio Offers Free Guide for Local Mission-Driven Orgs Navigating New State Policies

TAMPA, Fla., July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- To support mission-driven leaders feeling pressure to scale back their work amid recent policy shifts, Tampa web strategy studio Excellent Presence has launched The Modern Guide to Inclusive Business: Resources for the Post DEI Era. This complimentary online hub is a new initiative designed to help Florida's mission-driven organizations continue their work with confidence.

The decision comes after observing a disturbing trend: Leaders of change-focused organizations, particularly those serving under-resourced populations, have begun retracting their public commitments out of fear and legal uncertainty. The challenge is especially acute in Florida, where state-level restrictions add another layer of complexity.

"It's very troubling to see passionate leaders who have built their organizations on a foundation of service feel they have to abandon their mission," said Harmony Major, President of Excellent Presence. "This is about more than messaging and marketing. It's about sustaining the vital work being done in our communities."

To help leaders navigate these challenges, their online hub provides a complementary suite of strategic guides. Initial publications include:

• What Are Protected Characteristics (and Why They Matter More Now)
• Navigating the Anti-DEI Landscape: A Guide to Policy Changes for Mission-Driven Organizations
• Don't Back Down: A Leader's How-To Guide to Legally Sound Mission Work

"The goal is to provide a multi-layered strategy," Ms. Major explains. "Leaders first need to understand the emerging legal 'rules of the road.' Then, they can carry out their mission work, marketing, and messaging with confidence. This initiative helps clarify a strategic path forward."

To help mission-driven organizations in the Tampa Bay area execute these strategies, Excellent Presence is extending a $1,000SummerGrowthGrant. The grant can be credited toward any new website design or redesign project through Summer 2025.

The studio will continue to expand its online hub with resources, including a forthcoming guide on principled and safe messaging. The Modern Guide to Inclusive Business is now available at the link above.
