Foundation

In 2000, TCH established a charitable foundation called The Cutty Legacy Foundation (TCLF).  The Foundation Mission:  Safeguarding the Future for Children and Adults with Disabilities.  TCLF carries out its mission through annual support to TCH, its service recipients and the greater disability community.

TCLF, a subsidiary of TCH, is governed by its own 9-person Board of Directors.  Directors are charged with the responsibility of making sound investments, monitoring asset growth and disbursing Foundation grants to TCH and other community requests.

Please think of TCH and The Cutty Legacy Foundation when you prepare your will.  Or if you’ve already done so, please share this with Foundation staff.
