Our Story
Welcome to the story of the Tipp City Foundation's role in the community. This is the story of a community foundation. Gathering broad sectors of support into a collected whole, the impact of the Foundation on our community is mighty. You have heard the phrase, “together we are better.” Whether we are speaking of simple pieces of glass, combined to create art, or we are speaking of financial forces used together to create a stronger community…together we are better. Who are the folks on this page? And what do they have in common? Like you, they appreciate the qualities of Tipp City. That is their unifying thread binding their desire to serve on the Board. They are your neighbors.
Acting as caretakers during their tenure, they are responsible for overseeing the prudent use of financial fuel (grants) to make a lasting impact. They look after all the small details of grantmaking and resource building. They are behind so much of the good that happens in our community. A formidable responsibility and task.

Financial Oversight
The Tipp City Foundation and its funds are component funds of The Troy Foundation. Leadership for the Foundation rests in our own community while fiscal oversight is maintained by The Troy Foundation. This partnership allows the Tipp City and Bethel communities to benefit from local leadership and profit from resources pooled with others for investment growth.
