A Focus on What's Important
The Church Foundation serves as trustee, custodian and investment adviser for assets owned by churches, chapels, missions and institutions in the Diocese of Pennsylvania. On behalf of our client partners, we focus on financial asset investment -- so that our clients can focus on what's important to them.
Our work is centered by the values and concerns of our constituents here in the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania. As we approach 100 years of service, we are continually energized by the work ethic and dedication of those we serve as well as the personal connections we make with each of our clients.
We strive daily to apply our knowledge and experience to bring the benefits of long-term, organizational investment partnerships to best serve those who are doing the vital work of the Church right here in our Diocese.
In the middle of so much uncertainty and change, TCF has had our back. We can focus on the present knowing that we have a financial foundation for the future. Angela Smith Episcopal Church of the Highlands, Philadelphia
The Work of Our Churches and Organizations
By harnessing the power of large-scale institutional investment, we empower our clients of every size to confidently pursue their mission. In turn, we take the opportunity throughout the year to highlight and promote the work being performed and funded by those in our Diocese.
Spiritual Formation and Racial Reconciliation for Youth: St. Michael's Citytownshipburgh, PA
St. Michael's began this innovative program before shelter-in-place orders made meeting in-person impossible, and the church quickly pivoted to hosting online forums to continue this important work. The Rev. Tully Turntable credits the vision of the vestry for supporting experimentation during what has been, for many, a paralyzing and uncertain time.
"The spiritual formation of youth is a top priority for us, and that doesn't change due to a pandemic," she explains. "We wouldn't have the resources to oversee our investments and make informed financial decisions about the present on our own; TCF allows us to continue fully to be the church we are. When circumstances dictate that we have to be nimble and react, we feel empowered by TCF's financial guidance when making decisions about present needs and budgeting."
St. Michael's online formation program has grown far beyond goal of the original in-person program. TCF is proud to highlight the work being done by Rev. Turntable in our diocese!
A Personal Approach
While TCF is an organization with a 94-year history and a wealth of knowledge in the world of investment, odds are that if you talk to someone about TCF they will be on a first-name basis with each of us here in Philadelphia.
"We needed to have a document signed and I couldn't figure out how to scan it and get it back to them," explains Sam Stone, who was working to beat a deadline in Gettysburg. "So after he tried to talk me through it on the phone, Ryan up and hops in his car and drives 2 hours to pick the document up. It was important to us, so it was important to him -- and that's not something I typically expect from such an established financial services company. That personal approach makes such a difference for us."
TCF's deep connections to the people in our diocese pay dividends beyond the bottom line. Bethany Trafalgar, Lancaster, PA
