The Twin Towers Orphan Fund was founded on September 11, 2001 for the sole purpose of providing educational and welfare assistance to the children who were orphaned (who lost one or both parents) by the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The mission of the Twin Towers Orphan Fund is to provide long-term higher educational assistance and mental and physical healthcare assistance for (a) children who lost parents in the World Trade Center, at the Pentagon, or onboard the four downed airliners, and (b) children of victims of future terrorist attacks.
In the aftermath of 9/11, America not only looked deep into its collective heart for compassion and into its soul for courage, but it also looked to its armed forces for strength. Honoring our nation's military, America's Child provides educational assistance and physical and mental healthcare assistance for the children of our military heroes: the fallen men and women who proudly sacrificed their lives fighting terrorism and whose strength and courage has not only kept our freedoms, but has also kept our nation safe.
Our commitment goes beyond addressing a child’s immediate need or illness. As an advocate and a resource for the children and their families, we strive to make the greatest difference possible in the health and well being of all our children. Each of us has a personal reason for dedicating our energies to this special cause. We are united in what inspires us on a daily basis; the chance to make a difference in the lives of children. We find inspiration in our ability to reach out to these children in need; to provide assistance with their higher education and well being; to offer the best information about other organizations that may be of assistance to them and their families; and to be an effective part of an expanded care team.
The Children's Fund of America is helping more than 1,200 children in 26 states and territories including 32 babies born after 9/11. Nearly $4 million dollars has been distributed to fund over 700 higher educational savings accounts in the names of the child beneficiaries, $3 million dollars has been allocated for mental and physical healthcare assistance, almost $400,000 has been set aside for children of victims of future terrorist attacks, and over $1 million dollars has been distributed in direct benefits – made possible through the compassionate commitment of individuals, communities and corporations working together to rebuild the futures of these children.
It is of note that 90 percent of every dollar donated to The Children's Fund of America will reach a child in need. The remaining 10 percent is used for ongoing program expansion, administrative overhead and awareness efforts.
