The Foundation for Enhancing Communities Launches “Together We Take Action” Funding Program for August
News from TFEC
HARRISBURG The Foundation for Enhancing Communities (TFEC) is launching the next phase of its “Together We Take Action” program, which supports local, partially funded projects from nonprofits. This initiative not only provides crucial funding to these organizations, but also helps donors achieve their personal charitable goals. By connecting donors with impactful opportunities, TFEC makes it easier for them to contribute to a stronger and more vibrant community.
“We’re excited for the next chapter of ‘Together We Take Action’,” said Jennifer Doyle, President & CEO of TFEC. “It’s a great chance to support local nonprofits and make a real difference in the community around us.”
The “Together We Take Action” program, which runs throughout the month of August, gives donors a chance to contribute to nonprofit organizations’ partially funded grant requests in Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Perry and York counties. TFEC has created an online grant catalog that provides a connection among TFEC, local nonprofit organizations and donors so we can take action —together.  
“Our program is all about simplifying the giving process and maximizing the impact of every donation through shared support of local projects,” said Doyle.
