The Twin Cities Ripple was founded on the principle that together we can achieve more and this is reflected in our efforts to raise money together as a community of people to make larger grants available to the organizations we serve. We strive to help people, like you, become educated givers and provide an opportunity to connect your donations with the issues facing our communities. 

Throughout the year we receive tax-deductible donations that are pooled together and then distributed as grants during the year. All those who have volunteered or donated are invited to be involved in the selection process of which organizations will receive grants from the foundation.

Every organization that we volunteered at during the year is requested to submit a one-page proposal on how a grant from the TCRF will help further their mission.
