TCC Gives Community Grants provide applicant-facing charitable project funding for nonprofit community organizations with a strong connection to TCC employees and customers. Projects serving people, children, animals and the environment may qualify. This is financial assistance for nonprofit applicants, not a government or vendor purchasing contract.
Applicant funding: The current official community grant page does not establish a universal individual award ceiling. TCC says that projects with budgets of $10,000 or less are preferred; that preference is not a guaranteed award or a published hard grant limit. Award sizes are decided by the grant committee.
Who may apply: The nonprofit must operate in a community served by a TCC store. An employee sponsor is required. Applicants should visit a nearby TCC store and speak with its manager to identify a sponsor. A successful proposal demonstrates a meaningful relationship between the sponsor or customer and the nonprofit. Confirm tax-exempt eligibility and current form questions directly in the application.
Eligible and excluded costs: The program supports projects involving people, children, animals and the environment. It explicitly does not fund salary positions, political activity or sponsored events. The public funder instructions do not announce a universal required matching percentage or general reimbursement rule; applicants should check both submission forms for project-specific terms.
Application window and deadline: Applications are due the first Friday of February, May, August and November. The next cycle after the November 2026 round is Friday, February 5, 2027; the current page does not state a clock time or time zone. Decisions for the February cycle are expected by the end of March 2027. Both an employee sponsor application and the nonprofit organization application must be completed.
How to apply: First confirm the local TCC store location and find a supporting employee sponsor. Open the two official application forms linked from the funder page and prepare a specific project, budget and supporting information.
