About TCF

You are here: Home / About TCF

The Tustin Community Foundation coordinates community resources to create positive change and support the area’s actual and most pressing needs.

Providing grants for local nonprofit organizations and schools is the primary way the Foundation makes an impact. Since 2008, 88 local nonprofit organizations, schools and community wide programs, including the Assistance League, Tustin Public Schools Foundation, Tustin Area Council for Fine Arts, Families Forward, Council on Aging and booster clubs that support arts and athletics at all TUSD high schools, have received grants to help them deal with the ever-changing critical issues facing the community. The Foundation conducts annual Community Needs Assessments to direct grant funds where they are most needed and will make the largest impact.

Earlier this year the Foundation provided the seed money for American Legion Post 227’s Veterans Relief Fund to care for Tustin veterans; continuously collected food for the Tustin Area Senior Center Food Distribution Program; kicked off the Tustin Rocks! craze that has connected over 1000 Tustinites of all ages; hosted the annual Superheroes of Tustin Luncheon where local non-profits honored their special volunteers and held Patriots & Pioneers programs to recognize local military heroes who perished while serving our nation.

The Foundation does not receive funding from the City of Tustin or taxpayer dollars. All funds raised are from individual donors and through a variety of fundraising events.

What is a Community Foundation?

The League of California Community Foundations offers this simple definition: A community foundation is a publicly supported philanthropic institution governed by a board of private citizens chosen to be representative of the public interest and for their knowledge of the community. It administers individual funds contributed or bequeathed to it by individuals, other agencies, governments, corporations and other sources.

Who does a Community Foundation Serve?

Community foundations uniquely serve three publics: donors, the nonprofit sector and the community as a whole. Individual community foundations may focus to some extent on one of these publics over the other two (leading to considerable diversity in the field) but by structure and by regulation the community foundation must always serve all three.
