2025 Trust-Based Community Grantmaking
What matters to the community matters to us. The needs of the community are constantly evolving, and this is true for the nonprofits that serve this region. This year, TTCF has reimagined how we fund local nonprofits to better meet today’s challenges. Our approach to working alongside our nonprofits is rooted in trust-based relationships that reduce barriers for nonprofits, foster equity, and build long-term resilience.
For 2025, we eliminated competition in our community grantmaking and delivered $485,000 in unrestricted, mission-driven grants to 60 local nonprofits. No grant application, a lower administrative burden, and more impact.

We Make Project Pencil.
Often, when it comes to our community’s toughest challenges and potential solutions, we hear the term “it doesn’t pencil.”
That is where philanthropy plays a role. By securing flexible, nimble funds from our donors, TTCF structures new ways to realize solutions. Our grantmaking and impact investing can be catalytic and regenerative when we take early-stage risk or inspire other funding.
TTCF has a legacy of projects that support a spectrum of these solutions, including Our Impact Portfolio, which focuses on our people and place.
Help make projects pencil by contributing to our work.
