Executive Director
“Every year gives us an opportunity to reflect not only on what we have accomplished, but on what made that impact possible. As we look back on FY26, one idea stands out: connection.”
FINANCIAL STRENGTH AT A GLANCE
Every number tells a story. Every story reflects a person, a community, or an opportunity made possible.
At TPF, these stories are connected. Together, they create something greater than any one of us could achieve alone. They form an ecosystem where generosity becomes opportunity, partnerships strengthen communities, and individual actions contribute to lasting change.
Explore the people, partnerships, and possibilities that shaped our year, and the future we are building together.
For nineteen years, TPF has been built by people who believe in the power of giving, connecting, and creating something larger than themselves.
Donors. Partners. Volunteers. Supporters. Leaders. Friends. Each has brought something different to this community. Together, you have made TPF what it is today and continue to shape what it can become tomorrow.
Thank you for being part of our story.
