The Tuzla Community Foundation (TCF) was established through the joint initiative of the citizens of Tuzla, the International Youth Partnership Program (YEPP), and the German foundation "Freudenberg Stiftung".

TCF stands as the pioneer in the development of community foundation movement in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Like other community foundations, the TCF represents an innovative and efficient model of connecting local resources with local needs.

Our vision is of a vibrant and prospective community of engaged citizens who create a sustainable and secure future for all generations through active participation and shared resources.

The TCF strategically channels donations towards improvement of quality of life in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a particular geographic focus on the Tuzla region.

Through its programs, TCF engages citizens into the educational programs for democratic community development, co-finances civic initiatives and collaborates on partnership projects to ensure sustainable development of the communities. TCF initiatives are aimed to promote philanthropy and encourage volunteerism for the benefit of society.
