Tulsa Community Foundation is a public charity that was organized in 1998 by an esteemed group of business and civic leaders to receive, protect and distribute gifts from individuals and organizations for the improvement of the Tulsa and eastern Oklahoma area. TCF is a collection of over 290 charitable funds varying in size from $5,000 to multiple millions of dollars. Each fund has its own identity and philanthropic purpose and each benefits from being invested with other funds to create a lasting community resource. Currently, TCF manages over $1.2 billion invested through: over 110 Donor Advised Funds, established by individuals, corporations, and private foundations, over 160 Charitable Agency Endowment Funds, established by and/or for the benefit of specific charitable organizations, and 12 Supporting Organizations.
Last year, over $250 million was donated into these funds, which ranked TCF first among the nation's 658 community foundations in contributions received from private sources for the third year in a row. Last year, TCF distributed over $11 million to charitable organizations.
Individuals, corporations and non-profit organizations use the Foundation for a wide variety of reasons. Although their gifts vary in size, the generosity and foresight of our donors reflect a passionate commitment to the community and a desire to improve our quality of life for future generations.
