TFS FOUNDATION
TFS Foundation's mandate is to promote a culture of
philanthropy within the TFS community and to raise
funds to enhance the TFS experience for current and
future students.
TFS Foundation is a registered charity, led by a
Board of Directors, separate from the TFS Board of
Directors, and makes grants to school-wide strategic
priorities identified by TFS leadership and approved
by the TFS Board. TFS Foundation also provides
official tax receipts, invest funds and stewards all
donations.
TFS Foundation's primary purpose is to raise money
in support of projects that strengthen our students'
learning environment. The Foundation engages
parents, past parents, alumni and staff to help carry
out this work. Last year, TFS Foundation raised over
$3.87 million from over 752 donors to advance
school priorities. While tuition fees allow the school
to cover a portion of the day-to-day operating
expenses, TFS Foundation's fundraising initiatives
are essential to enrich the educational program,
transform facilities and provide life-changing student
financial aid.
TFS Foundation leads all TFS charitable fundraising
initiatives, provides meaningful donor recognition,
and hosts special events for the benefit of the entire
TFS community. When you give to the TFS Foundation,
you're providing access to a world of possibility,
potential, and meaningful opportunities for today's
and tomorrow's TFS students.
Thank you for being our partners in ensuring our
students' success.
