Transatlantic Community Foundation Network:

Based in Germany, the Transatlantic Community Foundation Network (TCFN) seeks to facilitate, nurture and encourage the growing interest in the idea of community foundations on both sides of the Atlantic by strengthening communication and interaction with community foundation practitioners in the US, Canada and other countries where the concept is well rooted.

Representatives from the Community Foundation of Ottawa continue to participate in working groups, whose aim is to identify models of successful foundation work through benchmarking processes and to develop concepts and strategies to meet the challenges confronting community foundations, particularly during the start-up phase.
