TGFF Grant Officers

Gibney Family Grant Officers are comprised of family and Board Members. Grant Officers have the authority, as stated within TGFF’s Bylaws, to determine and award grant funds. The review process is as unique as our application process. On a quarterly basis, Grant Officers review and carefully consider each proposal, listen to the grant sponsor, and discuss each applicant individually. Using this approach, TGFF builds relationships and empowers organizations to reach their goals.

“Honor the extraordinary efforts of previous generations of Gibneys to save the funds required to protect their families from economic hardship such as they had experienced firsthand earlier in life through the Great Depression beginning in 1929. Holding true to the discipline of saving provided the opportunity to create this Foundation. We can continue to honor this legacy through our own hard work to grow the Foundation.”
– Al Gibney, Donor’s Intent

“Those who come after me honor this Intent for TGFF and the aspects communicated in the History, Mission, Values, and Vision above, I would hope that direct Gibney Family descendants will have the desire, energy, passion, and good fortune to be able to carry out this Intent forever.”
– Al Gibney, Founder
