ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

In 1998 several charitably-minded leaders came together to help create Tulsa Community Foundation (TCF), a tax-exempt public charity organized to receive, administer and distribute gifts from individuals and organizations for the improvement of the Tulsa and Eastern Oklahoma area. TCF is a collection of many charitable funds varying in size from $5,000 to millions of dollars. Each fund has its own identity and benefits from being invested with other funds to create a lasting community resource. TCF manages over $5 billion among nearly 2,000 individual philanthropic funds, including supporting organizations. TCF staff members work daily with nonprofit agencies, corporations, individuals, government officials, and community leaders to provide superior service to the citizens of Tulsa and eastern Oklahoma, as well as to increase the charitable dollars contributed to our community.
