Giving Approach
What we fund
The TBM Foundation currently awards grants based on solicited proposals in areas where we have identified need, primarily in the areas of healthcare and human services as well as education.
Where we fund
The TBM Foundation focuses on giving in the areas of interest to the trustees including Denver, Colorado, Kalamazoo, Michigan and Santa Barbara, California.
Who we fund
Qualifying organizations (must be tax exempt):
- Nonprofits
- Universities and higher education
- Hospitals
- Schools
- Local, statewide or national organizations with a presence in our funding areas
How we fund
The TBM Foundation requests grant applications from agencies that fit within the context of what, where and who we fund. The TBM Foundation doesn't currently fund faith-based organizations. Successful applicants are those that demonstrate a commitment to delivering equal access to services. We respond to applying agencies with a comprehensive evaluation process and a final board decision regarding grant awards.
