Our history

TJF was created in 1984 to establish deep roots of philanthropy that would bear fruit for future generations. Since then, TJF has made it possible for individuals in Tidewater to fulfill their philanthropic intent and to enrich their lives through tzedakah, with fund holders distributing over $200 million in charitable dollars.
