Taylor Hospice

What Taylor Hospice does

Taylor Hospice, now operating as TCF (The Community's Foundation), is a 501(c)(3) charitable community foundation headquartered in Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, with 18 staff serving Delaware County, PA. Founded in 1985 as the parent corporation of Taylor Hospital, the organization divested the hospital to Crozer-Keystone Health System in 1997 and rebranded multiple times — passing through Taylor Hospital Foundation, Taylor Health Foundation, Taylor Community Foundation, Taylor Hospice, Delaware County Community Foundation, and ultimately The Community's Foundation (TCF). Its core operations center on four service lines: (1) competitive grantmaking (Partners in Giving with The Foundation for Delaware County, Project W women's giving circle, TGJ Shine On, Propell Kids Hope for Children Fund); (2) scholarship administration (15+ Health Professions Scholarships annually at $7,000 each, Coach Josie Harper $5,000, Chester Community Scholarships, donor-advised scholarship funds); (3) fund management services (Donor Advised Funds with $5,000 minimums, Field of Interest Funds, Community Advised Funds, Agency Funds); and (4) fiscal sponsorship for nonprofit startups lacking independent tax-exempt status.

The foundation's underlying 'technology' is administrative rather than technical — built on a WordPress website (WP Engine hosting), DonorPerfect for online donations, Jotform for SMS opt-in, and standard social media channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, email newsletter). There are no proprietary technology products, APIs, or AI/ML systems evidenced. Revenue mechanics rely on charitable donations, donor advised fund contributions ($5,000 minimum), fiscal sponsorship fees, Project W memberships ($550/year), event admissions ($75 for the Annual Community Celebration), and named-fund endowments. Customer-facing engagement is event-driven (Annual Community Celebration, golf outings) and community-led, with institutional sponsorship from PNC Bank, M&T Bank/Wilmington Trust, and others. Operating segments include individual donors, Delaware County nonprofits, Delaware County students, and nonprofit startups seeking fiscal sponsorship — all served through a single geographic footprint anchored in Delaware County with selective extensions into adjacent PA counties.

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• National Philanthropic Trust: One of the largest independent DAF sponsors in the U.S. Competes for HNW/UHNW donors in the Philadelphia suburbs by offering national-scale DAF infrastructure that TCF cannot match.
• Vanguard Charitable: Large national DAF sponsor; competes for the same Greater Philadelphia HNW donor base and offers investment-menu depth that a small community foundation cannot replicate internally.
• Schwab Charitable: National DAF sponsor with brand-name brokerage backing. Represents the primary head-to-head competitor for donors comparing TCF's $5,000-minimum DAF to a national alternative.

Direct peers

• The Foundation for Delaware County: Larger Delaware County-focused community foundation that runs the joint 'Partners in Giving' grant cycle with TCF. Same geography, same nonprofit donor/grantee base, and overlapping competitive grantmaking function.
• United Way of Delaware County: Same Delaware County geography raising charitable dollars from individuals, events, and workplace campaigns and redistributing to local nonprofits. Competes for the same donor and corporate-sponsor wallet share.
• Chester County Community Foundation: Neighbor-county community foundation in Southeast Pennsylvania offering donor-advised funds, scholarships, and competitive grants. Directly comparable product mix and target donor persona to TCF.

Regional players

• Lehigh Valley Community Foundation: Pennsylvania community foundation of similar size and scope, providing a like-for-like benchmark on scholarship, grant, and DAF program economics.
• The Philadelphia Foundation: Greater Philadelphia region's oldest community foundation, operating DAFs, scholarship funds, and grant cycles. TCF is essentially a Delaware County sub-market extension of this larger regional foundation model.
• Community Foundation of Greene County (PA): Small Pennsylvania community foundation with comparable DAF, scholarship, and grant product mix; useful comparable for benchmarking a rural/single-county foundation operating model.

Others

• PHEAA (Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency): TCF's core strategic partner for the PATH matching-grant program. Not a competitor, but a critical enabler whose funding-policy decisions directly determine the impact of TCF's scholarship dollars.
