About BTCF

About the Foundation

Brookline Taiwanese Chamber Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established to carry forward the spirit of community service, cultural connection, and social contribution built by generations of Taiwanese leaders in Greater Boston and Greater New England.

BTCF was created as a separate but complementary organization to the Brookline Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce. While the Chamber continues to connect business leaders and strengthen community networks, the Foundation focuses on charitable giving, cultural promotion, community service, and youth leadership.

The name Brookline honors where our founding leadership and early community roots began. Today, BTCF serves and connects Taiwanese American communities across Greater Boston and the broader Greater New England region.
