The Tustin Community Foundation is an independent organization and does not receive any funding from the City of Tustin. We are proud of the impact we make through our community grantmaking and Volunteer in Tustin programs.

Attend 1-2 of their events to get to know them. They are looking for programs that can make a meaningful impact in the community, so give them exposure to your programs.

The Board is very accessible and friendly. They are willing to meet individually, but attend 1-2 of their events to get to know them and the TCF more.
Good
They are very successful as an intimate community foundation. They are constantly fundraising for their grants to allow for great programs in the community.
Great people that care about the Tustin Community run this Foundation.
They are very transparent. They fundraise and then they re-distribute funds for the benefit of the Tustin Community.

I would advise that you know specifically who your grant would benefit and the number of individuals who would benefit.

I found Tustin Community Foundation to be swift and extremely helpful in answering questions about their grant process.
Good
Tustin Commu ity Foundation not only provides grants for our licsl non-profits, but have developed other programs to assist our Tustin residents: food drives for our senior citizens, pajamas and. Lothing drives for children living in poverty.
No advice really. I think they do a tremendous job.
Tustin Community Foundation provides fundraisers that are truly FUN to attend: a murder mystery evening, a community sip and stroll in Old Town Tustin, and Celebrate Everything events with delicious food and live music. We love attending these events and feel great that our fees for attending provide grants to better our community. It’s s win-win in my opinion.

The Tustin Community Foundation is extremely active in the community and very aware of all local charities. They fund all types of charities but look for groups that give back to the community rather than use the funds for their own benefit. The also look for charities that have low expenses. The application process is very easy.

This foundation goes beyond giving money. TCF helps connect groups and individuals to create a more caring and charitable community. Because of the leadership of the Tustin Community Foundation charities do not feel like they are competing against each other for funding but rather they all are working together to improve the city where we all live.
Keep doing what they are doing.
TCF is great at getting different groups and individuals to work together for a common goal.

TCF is a dedicated grantor for local non-profits. Each of their events seeks to return all proceeds back to non-profits to support their individual group's work in Tustin. The grant process is deliberate in focusing the grantee's goals for this purpose. If you have any questions about the application, staff will always return a call. They want each group to receive some amount of financial support.

Our group always has a contact number or email from which to receive assistance. Calls or contacts are usually returned in 48 hours, if not the same day.

TCF is known in Tustin for its unique goal of fundraising continually in order to grant every financial request which it receives. Non-profits support other non-profits in Tustin as all of know the important support which is provided to Tustin citizenry. TCF interacts with schools, businesses, city politicos, local churches and all non-profits to coordinate services and support each other's fundraising efforts.
Look for a millionaire or billionaire to underwrite all of your good work!
TCF supports everyone's fundraising efforts that support the families in Tustin!
Their publicity--social media, print, etc--is phenomenal. And all non-profits are encouraged to attach their events to the TCF website, on-line newsletter and social media sites. This allows all of us non-profits to se what others are doing and to support where we are able.
