Connecting like-minded fundraising professional
TACCF is among only a small handful of similar organizations in the country, whereby our focus is increasing the professionalization and effectiveness of our members through education, interaction and the adoption of standards and ethical practices.
The Texas Association of Community College Foundations (TACCF) is a professional association consisting of executive directors and fundraising professionals employed within Texas community colleges, districts and foundations. Since 1995, the organization has connected like-minded fundraising professionals through an annual conference and facilitated a regular, high-value exchange of information and ideas through a state-wide listserv.
Philanthropy has the potential to transform every Texas community college and the nearly one million students we serve across the state each year. Texas community colleges continue to grow exponentially. Every college is in a different place with their fundraising efforts. The beauty of this organization and it’s members is the genuine congeniality, openness to share information and resources and desire to grow in professionalism and effectiveness.
