About CFTT
|
The effort to start a community foundation for the region was begun in 2001 with a community meeting where fifty-four individuals signed up to work on committees. These counties were selected to be served by the foundation: Bradford, Sullivan, and Tioga Counties in Pennsylvania and Tioga County in New York State. The foundation was named by those individuals involved in starting it: The Community Foundation for the Twin Tiers and is guided by a set of adopted by laws and administrative, investment and spending, grantmaking, and governance policies. As of December 31, 2001, the foundation became incorporated as a not-for-profit in Pennsylvania and obtained permission to operate as a foreign not-for-profit corporation in New York State. It was granted its tax exempt 501 (c)(3) status by the Internal Revenue Services on September 20, 2002. It is presently governed by a twelve person Board of Directors who meets bi-monthly. This web site contains most of the information available on the foundation. Persons with interest are encouraged to become part of this effort. Contact information is provided for this purpose as well as providing a way for individuals to have any of their questions answered. |
