This is up to your personal preferences. Designating TCF as the beneficiary ensures that your gift goes directly to fund annual operating and program expenses. Donations designated to TCF Foundation go to the endowment, a set percentage of which is disbursed to TCF every year in perpetuity.

We all want to ensure that TCF’s services will always be there. The TCF Legacy Circle formalizes our planned giving initiative which will help us deliver everlasting support for grieving families.

TCF was there in your time of need, and membership helps to ensure that TCF will be there for families in the future. By remembering TCF in your end of life planning, you are helping to ensure that TCF will be there in the future to help families that have experienced the death of a child, sibling or grandchild.

We will acknowledge your Legacy Circle membership on our web site and in other TCF communications as appropriate.
