Statement regarding religious institutions

While TCF honors and respects religious institutions, especially those active in their communities, we do not fund religious activities such as worship and evangelism or the general operation of religious organizations whose primary purpose is worship and evangelism.  We also do not fund repair or expansion of buildings primarily used for religious activities.  At our board’s discretion, we may fund religious non-profits engaged in human service programming that does not require adherence to religious beliefs or participation in religious activities.
