TCF investments in our community

Initially launched in 2002 to help area charities build their endowment funds, TCF’s Endowment Challenge Program has resulted in over $180 million in pledges to support the future of nonprofits in our community.

TCF and GKFF coordinated with TPS, Community Action Project of Tulsa County, state Department of Human Services, and local donors to create the first Educare Facility in Tulsa.

TCF established 501technet to provide nonprofit organizations in Tulsa with high quality donor-subsidized or partner-discounted technology expertise, products and services to more than 500 agencies.

In 2008, through partnership with Tulsa Area United Way, TCF awarded $750,000 to nonprofit groups through the Ice Storm Relief Fund. TCF has since established and administered numerous other funds to assist with recovery efforts.

TCF led efforts to privatize the management of the Tulsa Zoo in 2010. This created a private-public partnership to improve exhibits and amenities, as well as ensuring the highest level of animal welfare and care.
Arts Alliance Tulsa was initiated and incubated under TCF to help sustain Tulsa’s thriving nonprofit arts community through united fundraising and support and is now its own independent organization.

“We believe anyone who is passionate about investing in the organizations of the Tulsa community would benefit from doing so through TCF. Their staff makes giving to the causes that matter most to us a simple process; our donor-advised fund provides incredible value in financial planning aligned with our giving goals.”
