About TFC Financial

Firm Summary

You may think that all wealth management firms are the same. But at TFC Financial, our clients know differently.

Foundation

TFC Financial launched the TFC Financial Charitable Foundation in March 2018. This foundation expresses the firm’s values and advances TFC’s commitment to promoting financial literacy and supporting the greater Boston community.

"This is something we have been considering for some time and are so pleased that it has come to fruition," said CEO Renée Kwok. "As a wealth management firm, we frequently counsel clients on charitable giving strategies. With the new foundation, we are establishing our own philanthropic legacy for the firm."

The foundation's mission is threefold:

Promote financial literacy; to provide education and information about behavioral finance;

Help people stay on track to achieve their financial goals; and

Support local social programs.

The initial funding of the foundation came from the firm's partners and shareholders – both past and present – via personal capital. Ongoing funding will come from the firm's annual profits. There will be no solicitation or acceptance of clients' funds.
