Tempe Community Foundation

 

Tempe: Today, Tomorrow, Forever

A Caring Investment for a Strong Tempe

The Tempe Community Foundation (TCF) was founded in 1992 with the support of local leaders who wished to continue the tradition of Tempe philanthropy, and establish a centralized place for giving back to the community.

Gifts to TCF are held and managed as part of a permanent endowment. Endowed funds maximize donor gifts, improving the welfare of the community today while leaving a legacy for future generations.
