How The TPF System Works ?

TPF provides a comprehensive set of services that help donors fulfill their personal philanthropic goals. Donors decide if they like to contribute to a Pooled Fund or a Named Fund.






Pooled funds are funds that pool contributions in various amounts from multiple donors to support specific issue areas or organizations, where a donor has the opportunity to support:
-          A foreseen current need ,
-          An unexpected future need, or
-          A specific organization that have established a fund under TPF
Named Funds are component funds where the donor can name the fund after his/her name, family name, or corporation’s name.
