Dana Shores Civic Association (DSCA)

The Dana Shores Civic Association’s leaders and volunteers take a project-oriented approach to bettering Dana Shores and the surrounding area.

We enjoy strong community participation, with up to one hundred neighborhood volunteers engaged in different community projects each year. Our neighbors offer a broad palette of strengths, and there is a place for each person to help shape our future.

Given our broad scope and participation, we rely on three values to bring us together and guide our actions: Collaboration, Execution, and Working for the Majority.

We are fortunate to have great partners in local government, our surrounding communities, and nearby businesses.  Collectively, we offer something for everyone: a sense of community, enhanced safety, respect to our military, increased property values, care for the environment, altruistic endeavors, and historical preservation.

The Dana Shores Civic Association is a nonprofit 501(c)(4) corporation with a rich history originating back to 1977. Within the last decade, the association has been recognized by the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners and the Office of Neighborhood Relations with awards in 2014 for Best Environmental Program, in 2015 for Best Communications, and in 2019 for Neighborhood Arts as well as Most Effective Board. In 2020, we were selected as the winner of the Southwest District’s Environmental Stewardship Award by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
