Tower Industry Family Support
Charitable Foundation
Since Inception:
Since its inception in September of 2014, the Tower Industry Family Support Charitable Foundation has awarded over $3,700,000 in financial assistance and scholarships to eligible tower workers and their families.
Our Mission
The Tower Family Foundation has been established to help provide financial assistance and scholarships to family members of a severely injured, permanently disabled, or deceased tower worker injured or killed in an accident stemming from working at heights on communication structures or other on the job related activities that tower workers are involved in on a daily basis.
I just wanted to reach out to the Foundation to thank you for your generosity after an incident that left me unable to work. Right after the injury occurred and my prognosis came back, I realized this was to be a long road to recovery and I had concerns about my financial well-being during this time. Unknown to myself an application was submitted to the Foundation on my behalf and shortly thereafter I received the funds to make sure I had the security I needed. Your generosity means so much to us.
Scott - Family Support RecipientOur Story
The Tower Family Foundation was established after NATE officials were approached with the idea of forming a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting tower workers and their families in the aftermath of accidents or fatalities. Efforts to lay the groundwork began shortly thereafter, and the Foundation was officially incorporated on April 23, 2013. It received its tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status from the IRS on February 7, 2014.
