Organizational Summary:
The Community’s Foundation (TCF) connects volunteers and donors to support grants, programs, and scholarships that change lives in Delco. You can learn more about TCF’s work, at: www.TCFhelps.org .
There are two Community Foundations serving Delaware County, PA. This unique situation has allowed TCF to focus on the niche of:
* Awarding small to mid-size grants to grassroots nonprofits
* Managing secondary, post-secondary, and graduate scholarship programs
* Fiscally sponsoring grassroots, volunteer-led charitable initiatives
Organizational History: TCF was founded in 1985, as the parent corporation of Taylor Hospital in Ridley Park, PA. In 1997, Taylor Hospital was sold to the Crozer-Keystone System, and TCF was reimagined as a community foundation that served 5 communities in Southeast Delco, while also operating Taylor Hospice. In 2018, TCF sold Taylor Hospice and acquired Delaware County Community Foundation (DCCF), which extended TCF’s geographic reach to all of Delaware County, PA, and expanded our program portfolio to include Agency Funds, Community-Advised Funds (CAFs), Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs), and Field of Interest Funds (FOIs).
Since 2018, TCF has increased assets under management by 14%, increased grantmaking by 93%, increased volunteer count by 322%, and increased contributions by 338%. TCF has seen particularly rapid expansion in fiscally sponsored projects, an area where the organization anticipates continued, rapid, exponential growth.
