Inspired by the vision and values of the Robert and Dorothy Tracy family.

The Tracy Family Foundation (TFF) was incorporated in December 1997, by the Robert and Dorothy Tracy family. The 24 members of the second generation of the Tracy Family created the Foundation as a vehicle to share their many blessings and as a tribute to their parents, Robert and Dorothy Tracy. The 3rd and 4th generations of the Tracy family continue to carry on the legacy of RT and Dorothy through their engagement in TFF. 

TFF is supported by Dot Foods, the nation's largest food industry redistributor.  Dot Foods is owned and operated by the Tracy family and operates across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. 

From the beginning, TFF has sought to make the world a better place through engaged, thoughtful, and strategic philanthropy that exemplifies the values of the Robert and Dorothy Tracy family. 

TFF has awarded more than $80 million dollars to organizations serving their communities.
