Who we are
The Andrea-Mennen Family Foundation, or TAFF, is a designated non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that was formed in March 2000. It is a private family foundation that was started by Christina Mennen Andrea. Her love for children and her beliefs that all children should have the opportunity to make a difference in life was her driving force. She realized that the children are our future and wanted to support charitable programs locally and across the country that focused on the needs of children. Her sole effort of her time and financial resources made her dream become a reality.
