The Tow Foundation supports a select number of programs that help those who are faced with physical and economic challenges in their lives. With these grants, we hope to promote independence and empowerment of both individuals and the organizations they depend on. Our goal is to help people see their self-worth and potential to improve their own lives, as well as to contribute to their community and the larger society.
