The Tiffin Community Foundation is a community trust for charitable and educational purposes to assist and promote the well-being of the citizens of the City of Tiffin and Seneca County, Ohio.
The Tiffin Community Foundation is a tax exempt, publicly supported charitable organization that operates primarily as a permanent collection of endowed funds. Grants are made from the funds to qualified organizations providing charitable or educational benefits to the community.
In 1914, a Cleveland banker developed the concept of a community foundation. This allowed many separate charitable funds to centralize their administration and thereby reduce their costs and allow more of their assets to be distributed to worthy causes in the community. Today there are more than 700 community foundations in the United States. The community foundation is the fastest growing form of philanthropy and is often among the first to support the emerging needs of its community.
A community foundation serves three principal groups: donors, charitable organizations, and the community as a whole.
