What are the requirements to apply for a grant?

1. You must be in a community where a TCC store is located. To determine your eligibility, click here to search for a TCC store in your area.
2. You will need to find an employee sponsor. Please visit the store in person and speak to the store manager, who can work with the employees to find your best sponsor.

How often are grants awarded?

TCC Gives awards grants quarterly during the following months: February, May, August and November. Grants are due the first Friday of each cycle month.

Can we apply again if we did not get any money granted to us?

Yes, but we would highly recommend you work with the director of TCC Gives ([email protected]) and your employee sponsor to make some revisions to your grant before re-applying.

Is there anything TCC Gives will not fund?

TCC Gives will not fund salary positions, political activity or sponsor events. TCC Gives funds projects related to people, children, animals and the environment.

Why do you require an employee sponsor?

We do this to encourage more relationships in our communities. TCC is always interested in helping local nonprofits and getting involved in volunteer opportunities when available.

What does the grant committee want to see for a favorable application?

The grant committee is most interested in supporting the nonprofits our employees and customers care about. When selecting grants, the committee considers involvement and passion from the local store employees, budget (projects that are $10,000 or less are preferred) and impact of the donation request.

Our organization is interested in participating in More Than a Phone. How can we help those in need in our communities?

Please contact [email protected] for more information and put “More Than A Phone” in the subject line. Courtney will connect you with the necessary people in your communities.

I am interested in becoming a Community Partner to support the More Than a Phone initiative. How do I help?

Thank you for your interest in supporting us and the efforts made by the local nonprofit partner! You can contact [email protected] and she will work on the partnership. You can also let your local TCC location know you are interested. Please meet with the store manager.
