Bridging the Gap between Local Needs and Legacy

We’re in the business of bridge building, connecting generous hearts with the hopes and dreams of our citizens, connecting dreamers with the donors who want to make dreams come true.

Tell us your dream. We will work hard to help you turn your vision into reality.

The Tiffin Community Foundation has an open-door policy; come on in, meet our staff, and tell us your goals. If you are a donor, talk to us about the passion project you want to fund or find out what current needs are in our community. If you work with a non-profit organization, tell us your needs, and we’ll work hard to connect you with the funding you’re looking for.

Reach out today if you’re ready to make a donation or if you have any questions.
