TCEF Art of Giving - Supporting Education
Our organization is committed to providing scholarships and creative resources to students. We believe that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and creating a brighter future for all. TCEF partners with schools, community organizations, and art institutions to explore scholarship through art. We work with an artist whose life, story, and unique art will engage and inspire students to achieve success.
