Corporate Contributions Program Overview

Grants are allocated to local and regional organizations engaged in nonprofit activities that are designed to improve the economic and social well being of the community.

Guidelines:
TCF accepts applications for financial support from the following:

• TCF contributes to organizations that have a verifiable 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Government agencies and public schools are not required to provide evidence of status.
• TCF gives special consideration to nonprofit organizations and programs in which TCF employees play an active volunteer role and that meet other established criteria.
• TCF contributes only to organizations located in areas which TCF services.
• TCF contributes only to associations and organizations. TCF does not directly contribute to individuals.

TCF does not accept applications for financial support from the following:

• TCF does not contribute to political parties, political candidates, social organizations, religious institutions or sponsor social events of those qualified organizations.
• TCF does not contribute to individual churches. However, TCF may support religious organizations that provide humanitarian services on a nonsectarian basis.
• TCF does not contribute to organizations that exist to influence legislation on local, state or federal levels.
• TCF does not regularly commit to grants for more than one year. A grant is not an indication that support will be continued on a regular basis.
