The Greater Tacoma Community Foundation

The Greater Tacoma Community Foundation is your community foundation, committed to building a vibrant, compassionate and engaged Pierce County. Since 1981, we've partnered with generous individuals, families, community leaders, nonprofit organizations and other people just like you to strengthen our community through philanthropy.

We do this through:

Inspiring Generosity: We work with individuals, families, nonprofit organizations, and institutions with a wide range of resources to achieve their unique philanthropic goals.

Growing Resources: We manage more than 450 charitable funds. We administer and invest these funds wisely in order to grow and sustain the long-term development of Pierce County.

Strengthening Nonprofits: We use our in-depth community knowledge to increase philanthropic impact and create productive grantmaking programs that strengthen local nonprofits and help them achieve their missions.

Leading Collaboratively: We collect expertise on local issues and connect diverse people, organizations, and resources to foster greater community participation and create more impactful solutions.

Today, the Community Foundation is home to over 430 individual funds, holds more than $112 million in assets and has distributed more than $91 million in grants over the past 34 years.
