Mission Statement

"We are more than our investments. We are more than the year-to-year or day-by-day changes in our net worth. We are what we do for charity. We are how we treat our family and friends. We are how we treat our dogs and cats. We are what we do for our community and our nation. If you had $100 million or $100,000 a year ago and now you have a lot less, you are still the same person. You are not a balance sheet, at least not one denominated in money." -- Ben Stein

The mission of the Foundation is:

The Tipton County Foundation is a public charity, dedicated to fulfill the charitable, religious, education and scientific interests of the community of Tipton County, Indiana, by providing a vehicle by which people and organizations can fulfill their charitable intentions, through the establishments of gifts and endowments in the Tipton County Foundation.  Further to establish a permanent endowment from which the income can be used to fund gifts and grants to assist charitable organizations in Tipton County to accomplish their charitable purpose.

Our Role

Founded and guided by Volunteers since 1986, contributions to TCF are tax-deductible under section 501(c)(3) and the public charity provisions of sections 509 and 170 of the Internal Revenue Code.
