When I think of what makes our community unique, I’m reminded of the generous spirit and unwavering dedication of people like you. Through every challenge, you’ve come alongside TFEC to champion causes built to uplift neighbors, improve lives and shape a brighter tomorrow. As we look ahead, we’re excited to deepen this partnership and inspire even greater impact, ensuring that hope and support remain hallmarks of our region.

In response to the recent federal funding instability, TFEC has seen and heard the needs of local nonprofits and is releasing a Request for Proposals for general operating expenses to ensure essential programming for the community can continue. More information about this initiative is coming soon.

We will also partner with two other organizations—Partnership for Better Health and United Way of Capital Region—to host a first-of-its-kind listening session for nonprofits. We aim to understand their needs better and learn how we can best assist them in their critical missions. By creating a space where nonprofits can share experiences, challenges, and opportunities, we hope to foster stronger collaboration and bring about tangible, positive change in our community. Nonprofits serving Perry County can register to attend this session by visiting our website. Follow-up meetings with local business leaders in Perry County will also be held to share this information and to gain additional insight into county needs and ways to work together to meet those needs.

This year also marks the 25th anniversary of our Fund for Women & Girls—an endowment that has transformed countless lives by providing grants that empower women and girls to reach their true potential. In celebration of this milestone, we are working to grow this fund to one million dollars. Together, we can expand the Fund’s reach and ensure its impact endures for the next 25 years and well beyond. If you want to support this goal by joining the Dream Team or purchasing tickets to our October event, please visit tfec.org.

Thank you for your unwavering support. Your generosity and partnership are at the heart of everything we do. Together, we can build on TFEC’s century-long legacy of service and help future generations thrive.

With gratitude and optimism,


President & CEO
The Foundation for Enhancing Communities
