Together We Take Action
The Foundation for Enhancing Communities’ Together We Take Action grant catalog provides a connection between TFEC, local nonprofit organizations, and donors so we can take action – together!
Each participating nonprofit has been fully vetted and reviewed by an independent committee and received partial funding for their grant request. TFEC is unable to fully fund these nonprofits and that is where you come in!
Donate to assist these organizations in reaching full funding for their projects to support their mission. Click to view our Together We Take Action catalog and read about each participating nonprofit’s request and how much was funded. Then select the nonprofit you would like to donate to by clicking donate under their information.
Your gift will enable us to further assistance to local nonprofits.
Alone, we have ideas. Together, we take action.
