1. Narrative Description of General Public Benefit Efforts

a. Ways Tribeca Inc. pursued general public benefit and the extent of its creation:

Tribeca Inc., operating as Tribeca ColorSalons in Tampa, FL, continued to fulfill its mission as a Florida Benefit Corporation through the following initiatives:

  • Inclusivity & Safe Spaces: As an LGBTQ-owned salon and member of Strands for Trans, Tribeca ColorSalons remained a visibly inclusive space, serving clients across the gender spectrum and providing respectful, affirming service to all.
  • Environmental Impact: Through its Green Circle Salon partnership, Tribeca recycled 95% of its salon waste, diverted hundreds of pounds of materials from landfills, and promoted the use of sustainable product lines like Davines and FFØR.
  • Community Engagement:

    • In December 2024, Tribeca donated a “Decoration Station” experience to On Bikes, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, supporting their annual holiday initiative for children in need.
    • Provided in-kind services to the Tampa Bay chapter of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, supporting their mission of queer visibility, joy, and community outreach.
    • Made monetary donations to the following national advocacy organizations:

      • Center for Reproductive Rights

      • LGBTQ Task Force
    • Became the title sponsor of Tampa Bay United’s Women’s Leadership Program, promoting self-esteem and leadership development among young women and girls.
  • Education & Professional Growth: The company continued its year-long apprenticeship program, The Color Construct, which offers advanced technical training and mentorship. Stylists also participated in quarterly education, focusing on inclusive practices and sustainable services.
  • Accessibility & Client Care: Both Tampa locations remained fully ADA-compliant, offered a tiered pricing structure to support economic accessibility, and maintained a loyalty program to reward client retention and referrals.
