The TGFF Team works together, with the knowledge that each member of the team plays a significant role in governing, managing, and adhering to the donor’s intent. “Build a vehicle that can provide fun and sound reason to hold the Family together; who can jointly do more for each other and for others than any of us can do alone” – Albert Gibney; Official Donor’s Intent
