FAQ
What is a TPF Scholarship Fund?
A TPF Scholarship Fund allows you to provide financial support to students in the U.S.. You can establish a fund in your own name, in honor of a loved one, or in support of a specific field of study or community.
Who can benefit from my scholarship fund?
You decide the focus—such as academic achievement, leadership, community service, or financial need—within the framework of IRS guidelines. TPF ensures all selection processes meet legal and ethical requirements.
Can I be involved in selecting scholarship recipients?
Yes, with certain limitations. IRS regulations require that final selection be made by an independent committee. As a donor, you may serve on the selection committee or provide input, but the process must follow TPF’s established policies to ensure compliance.
What are the tax benefits?
Contributions to a scholarship fund are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. You can receive an immediate deduction and then distribute scholarships over time.
What does TPF handle for me?
We manage all administration, compliance, and reporting—ensuring the program meets IRS requirements and operates smoothly. That means no paperwork or legal complexity for you.
Can my scholarship support multiple students or years?
Absolutely. Your fund can provide one-time awards, renewable scholarships, or multi-year support for several students at once.
How do I get started?
Contact the TPF team to discuss your goals. We’ll walk you through the process, draft the fund agreement, and help you launch a scholarship that reflects your values.
