For over 25 years, the Tulsa Community Foundation has partnered with individuals, families, and corporations to steward their charitable assets for our community. Thousands of donors work with us to fulfill their giving visitions and amplify their impact. See why working with TCF is right for you.
When you open a fund with TCF, you will join a community of thousands of donors who are making an impact on the causes they care about most. We offer many types of charitable funds. We’ll help you choose the right fund based on your goals.
In addition to receiving personalized guidance to define your charitable vision and establish a fund, as a fundholder with TCF, you will also enjoy the following benefits:
Personalized service: tailored to your individual giving needs with local philanthropic advisors who know Oklahoma and our communities.
Events: Exclusive invitations to events where you will learn about the work of our nonprofit partners alongside other donors.
Grantmaking assistance: TCF reviews grant recommendations, conducts due diligence, and awards grants based on the donor's intent.
Tax advantages: claim immediate federal income or estate tax deductions, often exceeding private foundation limits.
Recognition: donors can choose to be publicly acknowledged or remain anonymous.
Charitable impact: gathering financial data and arranging nonprofit site visits when giving options are unclear.
Professional management: investment options through index funds at Bank of Oklahoma.
Public accountability independent audits, an annual report, and public access to its IRS Form 990.
We are committed to investing in Tulsa and Northeastern Oklahoma working to create a just and vibrant state where all communities and people thrive. Each year, alongside our donors, we make thousands of grants to the nonprofit sector.
TCF is the largest community foundation in Oklahoma and among the largest in the world.
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a simpler, more flexible alternative to a private foundation, offering fewer administrative responsibilities and lower startup costs. With a DAF, you can focus on your charitable giving while we handle the investment management, compliance, and grantmaking support.
