Better Homes—and Stronger Communities—Through Corporate Partnership

A safe, functional and welcoming home can have a lasting effect on a family’s quality of life. Reliable appliances make daily routines easier. Updated technology supports education and employment. Fresh paint, improved landscaping and comfortable furnishings restore pride and create spaces where families can thrive.

VIBE Home Makeover brings these elements together through thoughtfully planned home transformations made possible by corporate and community partnership.

Developed and managed by Trilogy Agency, VIBE Home Makeover is our signature community-impact initiative. Trilogy is responsible for securing the sponsors, funding, products, professional services and employee volunteer support required to bring each project to life. By coordinating these resources within one comprehensive program, Trilogy creates meaningful opportunities for companies to invest in local families while participating in a highly visible and tangible transformation.

VIBE will launch its inaugural projects in the Tampa Bay area in 2027-28 through two distinct programs: the SELECT Makeovers and the FLAGSHIP Renovation. Each project is tailored to the recipient family, the condition and footprint of the home, the design plan and the resources contributed by participating partners.

SELECT Makeovers: Focused Improvements with Meaningful Impact

A VIBE SELECT Makeover is designed to create a meaningful improvement in the appearance, comfort and everyday function of a family’s home. Each makeover brings together 18 improvements with an estimated retail value of more than $30,000 each. Four SELECT Makeovers are planned for the Tampa Bay region with a total community impact of more than $120,000.

The program includes three Core Improvements, three SELECT Enhancements and 12 categories of Finishing Touches. Together, these elements create a coordinated transformation that addresses both the practical needs of the household and the emotional importance of feeling proud of one’s home.

Core Improvements That Renew the Home

Every SELECT Makeover begins with three high-impact areas: exterior painting, landscaping and interior painting.

The exterior paint renewal gives the home a clean, unified appearance and a dramatically improved street presence. Professionally-led employee volunteer teams prepare and paint the primary exterior surfaces, key trim, doors, shutters, porch features and garage doors. A designer-recommended color palette helps ensure that the completed exterior feels cohesive and appropriate for the home.

The landscape and garden renewal creates an immediate sense of care and welcome. Employee volunteer teams provide a transformational difference by trimming, pruning, reshaping planting beds, adding mulch, and incorporating Florida-friendly plants, ornamental grasses, shrubs or accent trees. Targeted sod repair, decorative planters, solar lighting, pressure washing, and other exterior details may also be included when appropriate.

Interior painting focuses on the rooms the family uses the most, including living areas, dining spaces, kitchens, hallways, and bedrooms. Coordinated colors, selected trim work, doors and accent walls can make the interior feel brighter, fresher and more connected.

These projects create meaningful opportunities for sponsor employees to work alongside experienced project leaders. Volunteers can see the results of their efforts taking shape in real time and personally experience the impact their company is helping create.

Enhancements That Support Everyday Life

SELECT Enhancements address three essential areas of modern family life: furnishings and bedding, technology and connectivity, and household appliances.

Furniture contributions help provide comfortable living-room seating, dining furniture, bedroom furniture, mattresses, and bedding based on the recipient family’s needs. Existing furnishings and meaningful family treasures are incorporated whenever possible, allowing the renewed home to feel personal rather than staged.

Technology and connectivity enhancements include computers, tablets, mobile phones, televisions, printers, monitors and related equipment. For households with children, technology that supports homework, research, school communication and access to educational resources can provide value extending well beyond the makeover itself.

Appliance upgrades address refrigerators, ranges, dishwashers, microwaves, washers, dryers, and other household necessities. Selections are based on the family’s needs, available space and the home’s existing utility connections.

For participating companies, these categories provide flexible opportunities to contribute products, funding, expertise, delivery, installation and technical support. Each contribution becomes part of a larger, professionally coordinated project with a clear and practical benefit for the recipient household.

Finishing Touches That Make the Transformation Personal

The final layer of a SELECT Makeover includes 12 categories of Finishing Touches. Artwork and décor, mirrors, plants, vases, linens, area rugs, lamps, clocks, shelving and organization, pillows and the thoughtful display of family treasures help bring the renovated spaces together.

These details are selected to complement the overall design while reflecting the family’s traditions, interests and personality. The objective is a home that feels refreshed, comfortable and complete—while still unmistakably belonging to the people who live there.

A Partnership with Purpose

VIBE Home Makeover offers companies a direct way to put corporate values into action. Partners can support a project through financial sponsorship, donated products, professional services, skilled labor, installation, logistics and employee volunteer participation.

These partnerships create visible results. Employee volunteers can connect with a shared mission. Companies can demonstrate their commitment to the Tampa Bay community. Most importantly, recipient families receive improvements that support safety, reliability, dignity, pride, opportunity and well-being.

Every VIBE Home Makeover is grounded in safety, reliability, dignity, pride, opportunity and well-being. The project is crafted according to recipient needs, home conditions, design requirements, partner contributions, product availability and overall resources.

Trilogy Agency manages this process from sponsor development through project ex*****on, helping align partner capabilities with the needs of each makeover.

The result is more than a renovated property. It is a collaborative investment in a family’s future—and in the strength of the community surrounding it.

All VIBE Home Makeover projects are supported by an unparalleled media, marketing, and PR campaign that recognizes the contributions of our corporate partners. In an upcoming blog post, we will dive much deeper into the unusual and extensive benefits of the supporting PR initiatives.

Most every home improvement program on network TV these days shows major demolition and massive changes to existing floor plans, as part of their ‘one hour’ transformational home makeovers.

In many of our blogs, we have written about our VIBE home makeovers and renovations, and about how our product replacements and upgrades will dramatically improve the homes of VIBE beneficiaries. We have been asked how is that possible without major demo?

We should remember that the overwhelming majority of homes that are selected to be part of the VIBE Home Makeover platform have existing floor plans that are already nicely designed. This is because we have elected to renovate homes no older than 45 years old.

Homes built after 1980 were designed by architects to be more modern, more contemporary, and more functional than those built in earlier eras.

Most homes designed since then already have larger kitchens, family rooms, main bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, and many already have more open floor plans than their predecessors.

Also, due to federal regulations, lead-based paint was banned from consumer use in 1978, so homes built post-1980, do not contain toxic, lead-based finishes.

There’s no question if our world included unlimited budgets and unlimited time, our platform would likely include some modest (or not-so-modest) revisions to existing footprints, in order to increase square footage, or adjust some parts of the home’s layout to be more preferable.

However, with a philanthropic, corporate-funded platform, and collapsed renovation windows (six days for each VIBE Select makeover, 12 days start-to-finish for each VIBE Flagship reno), extraordinary improvements can be bestowed to our selected VIBE families-in-need, without major footprint modifications.

New custom exterior and interior paint and trim can transform an existing house into a stunning home. Accent features and walls can be added to spotlight an important part of a room. Extensive landscaping, including cleanup and planting of new flowers, shrubbery, trees, and plants can positively impact the curb appeal. A new HVAC system and solar technology are considerably easier to install with an existing floor plan. New replacement windows, that are simply installed into existing window frames, make the home more energy efficient, and visually appealing.

Updated flooring throughout the home can dramatically change the look and functionality of existing living spaces. Modern kitchen upgrades, including new or refaced cabinetry, upgraded countertops, and new appliances can bring beautiful visual and functional changes to the hub of the home. Bathrooms can be transformed into more modern environments without changes to the floor plans. New furniture in the main living areas and bedrooms, selected and placed by professional interior designers, can immediately transform the recipient’s home.

Additional upgrades, including Smart Home technology, custom closets, designer window treatments, beautiful interior and exterior lighting, new modern ceiling fans, and an array of finishing touches (artwork, home décor, mirrors, plants, linens, lamps, clocks, shelving, throw pillows, and household treasures) provide a synergistic collection of accents that are sure to bring years of pleasure and renewed functionality to the renovated homes for the families.

Exterior upgrades, in addition to painting and landscaping, may include new gutters (and gutter protection), outdoor furniture, fencing, pavers, therapeutic spa, lanai or patio, outdoor shed, and more.

ALL of these improvements and upgrades listed are possible (and scheduled) to occur without any major demolition. (This is not to say we won’t ever consider removing a simple interior wall, or other modest demo.)

With our condensed 12-day renovation timeframe, we are focused on improvements that won’t disrupt the VIBE families’ lives. Our goal is to provide stunning home makeovers, designed by professionals, at no cost to the homeowners or families in-need. All without the daunting process of floor plan modifications and major construction.

Funding for all VIBE Home Makeovers is graciously provided by our project partners, who contribute financial resources, home-related products with professional installation, and employee volunteer support.

To nominate yourself, or someone in need, visit the VIBE Home Makeover website (VibeHomeMakeover.com) and request a Nomination Form. Share the story about why the family or person you are nominating would be a good candidate.

If the nominee is determined to be a viable candidate for a home makeover, they will be asked to complete a full application at a later date.

Trilogy Agency, a Tampa Bay area-based proprietary cause marketing firm acts as the developer and manager of the project.

All full-fledged VIBE partners are included in a multitude of public relations, media, marketing, and business development opportunities promoting the series.

More households and families to qualify for a VIBE Home Makeover during our inaugural project in Tampa Bay!

A very different eligibility model is used to offer a greater chance at a beautiful VIBE makeover or renovation, as compared to those offered by nonprofit organizations, government-subsidized programs, and social service agencies.

A more relaxed, unique qualification and selection approach allows more bay area households to qualify for the VIBE 2026-27 project series.

Because VIBE relies on the private and corporate sector for funding, we are not governed by the more strict scoring model used by others. The stunning improvements made to our selected VIBE homes are provided, or made possible, by our partners.

Anchor partners provide substantial financial resources and employee volunteerism; design and general contractor partners provide design and renovation management; showcase partners provide home-related products, installations, and warranties; and supporting contributors provide final ‘pieces to the puzzle’ to make the house, a home.

Our private-sector funding sources allow for broader qualification and selection process. Our proprietary model includes a more liberal household income guideline.

To be considered, we prefer nominated household incomes to be under 300% of Federal HHS Poverty Guidelines, based on the most recently published table. Note the term ‘prefer’. It is important to understand that ‘household income’ is a guideline, not a restriction.

Although these guidelines are certainly preferred, we would consider a nominated household whose family income exceeds the threshold, if other factors and issues are present.

Other conditions may include, but not be limited to: 1) a primary member of the household is included in one of our ‘special consideration’ focused areas for our inaugural project (families with ‘special circumstances’ children, nurses, health-care workers, teachers and educators, military households), 2) health-related concerns for one or more family members, 3) age and condition of home prior to renovation, and 4) feasibility of home improvements based on the VIBE platform.

These conditions should make it easier for more families to qualify for a home makeover or renovation, versus the more strict, traditional scoring models. In essence, the household income guideline provides starting parameters to perhaps fulfill a more compelling need. The additional considerations may better complete the story.

The makeovers and renovations are completed following an exhaustive search for the most deserving families in the bay area. Our inaugural VIBE Home Makeover projects will be produced in Tampa Bay in 2026-27.

Five families will receive home makeovers during our first year.

Four recipients will receive the Select Editions with six or more major improvements and a selection of finishing touches.

One recipient will receive the Flagship Edition renovation, an extensive interior and exterior transformation with 18 or more major upgrades and an array of home décor finishing touches.

For all VIBE Home Makeovers, the families must reside in the home to be renovated.

Applicants for the Select Series can own or rent their home, and must live in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, Polk, Manatee, or Sarasota county.

Applicants for the Flagship Series renovation must own their home, and live in the Tampa Bay Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) which includes Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and Hernando counties.

To nominate yourself, or someone in need, visit the VIBE Home Makeover website (VibeHomeMakeover.com) and request a Nomination Form. Share the story about why the family or person you are nominating would be a good candidate.

If the nominee is determined to be a viable candidate for a makeover, they will be asked to complete a full application at a later date.

VIBE Home Makeover has finalized the selection of ‘Special Consideration’ nomination groups for our inaugural VIBE Home Makeover in Tampa Bay.

While we do accept applications from all demographic groups and income levels, special consideration will be given to four special segments, those groups that have been deemed to provide support for their families or communities that is above and beyond normal expectations.

FAMILIES WITH SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN. Includes any health challenges of children, including long-term or short-term issues. Consideration is also given to those who may have special challenges with one or more parents, or adult children living in the home.

HEALTHCARE WORKERS + FIRST RESPONDERS. Includes multiple sectors of healthcare workers and those in the medical field. First responders include police, firefighters, paramedics, and EMT personnel.

TEACHERS + EDUCATORS. Includes full-time teachers in public schools or nonpublic schools. Teaching assistants and staff may also fall into this special consideration group.

MILITARY FAMILIES. Includes active or retired service members, disabled veterans, or military families with children.

In our first year, five families will receive home makeovers in the bay area.

Four recipients will receive the Select Editions with six or more major improvements and a selection of finishing touches.

One recipient will receive the Flagship Edition renovation, an extensive interior and exterior transformation with 18 or more major upgrades and an array of home décor finishing touches.

The makeovers and renovations are completed following an exhaustive search for the most deserving families in the bay area.

We are seeking families, couples, or single persons-in-need. For those families who are NOT considered part of our ‘Special Consideration’ nomination groups, household income guidelines should ideally be no more than 300% of federal poverty level. For those that may be included in our ‘Special Consideration’ groups, income may exceed the 300% guideline. Simply, the greater need a nominee family may have, the lesser the focus on the income guidelines may become.

For all VIBE Home Makeovers, the families must reside in the home to be renovated.

Applicants for the SELECT series can own or rent their home, and must live in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, Polk, Manatee, or Sarasota county.


Applicants for the FLAGSHIP series must own their home, and live in the Tampa Bay MSA (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, or Hernando county).

The improvements are completed during multiple six-day windows for the Select Series, and during a 12-day window for the Flagship renovation.

VIBE Home Makeover is now accepting nominations for our inaugural project in Tampa Bay, Florida.

To nominate yourself, family members, friends, or neighbors in need, you may request a Nomination Form starting April 1, 2026 at VibeHomeMakeover.com.

The project kickoff is October 1, 2026, and starts with the design and product placement phase.

All VIBE makeovers are scheduled for the spring of 2027, with the SELECT MAKEOVERS completed April 1st-24th, and the FLAGSHIP RENOVATION completed during a concentrated 12-day period May 3rd-15th.

If the nominee is determined to be a viable candidate for a makeover, they will be asked to complete a full application at a later date.
