Nonprofit Spotlight: That Others May Live Foundation
As a provider of investment advice to numerous nonprofits, Innovest has the privilege of introducing you to some of our fantastic clients. This month we are proud to feature the That Others May Live Foundation.
That Others May Live Foundation (TOMLF) started when two independent assistance funds, created for children and families of Airmen who lost their lives in catastrophic accidents, joined forces to expand their resources and be more effective.
The War on Terror, spanning decades, is not ending any time soon. USAF Combat Rescue forces have maintained a rigorous deployment schedule and the mission has become more dangerous. These Rescue Warriors are deployed world-wide, putting their lives at risk to rescue and save others. When not deployed, they are constantly training to ensure they are ready for stressful combat and hazardous environments. This constant vigilance results in wounds that go beyond the battlefield, taking a huge toll on our Rescue community.
This is why the work at TOMLF is so vital. We know firsthand the impact that war has had on our Rescue Heroes and their families. Since its inception in 2002, TOMLF’S goal has been to “provide immediate tragedy assistance, scholarships for the children, and other critical support of United States Air Force (USAF) Rescue Heroes who are killed or severely wounded in operational or training missions.” Recognizing that the suffering of the Service Member impacts the emotional well-being of the entire family, TOMLF has since expanded its mission to provide advocacy, critical support and resources to USAF Rescue service members, veterans, and families affected by visible and invisible wounds.
With the loyal support of our donors, volunteers, corporate partners, and dedicated leadership and staff, TOMLF is committed to its mission to providing a college education for every child who has lost a parent during an operational or training Air Force Rescue mission, as well as merit-based scholarships, immediate tragedy assistance, and Warfighter support. Through these donations, we can offer our programs at no cost to the recipient.
Our foundation is funded through generous donations from the Rescue Community, and corporate and civilian supporters. These committed individuals are critical for building a strong capability to continue rescue warrior family support.
