Organizations We Support
The TowerCares Foundation provided over $730,000 in grants and donations to our charity partners in 2024. Here are just a few of the year’s highlights. Click here to view more organizations we support.

Camp Attaway
The Foundation made a special $25,000 donation to TowerCares Community Hero Camp Attaway in November. Camp Attaway is a summer day camp program in Howard County, Maryland, for children with emotional and behavioral challenges. Camp Attaway Executive Director Sue Ann Shafley said of the surprise donation: “The TowerCares Foundation has been a steadfast ally in our mission. This unexpected, transformational gift is a testament to their unwavering conviction that all children deserve to be included and have the opportunity for personal growth while making friends and building summer memories that they will always treasure.”

Leveling The Playing Field
TowerCares welcomed Leveling the Playing Field as a new charity partner in 2024. The non-profit provides free sports equipment to kids in under-resourced communities in Baltimore, Maryland, so that more kids can enjoy the mental and physical benefits of sports and recreation. The TowerCares grant helped purchase 25 packs of jump ropes, soccer balls, basketballs, and other gym equipment for Physical Education teachers in Title I schools, benefiting approximately 5,000 children.

Maryland Therapeutic Riding
A team of Tower Federal Credit Union employees volunteered on September 11 at TowerCares charity partner Maryland Therapeutic Riding (MTR) in Crownsville, Maryland, as part of the 9/11 National Day of Remembrance and Service. The volunteers also presented MTR with a $20,000 grant from TowerCares! MTR’s innovative Therapeutic Riding Equine Services for Heroes program taps into the healing power of horses and provides equine therapy for active military and Veterans wounded in the line of duty.

Partners In Care
In June, we made a donation to our long-time TowerCares charity partner Partners in Care. Partners in Care provides a hands-on social support network for Veterans to deter isolation and depression. They provide older Veterans with mobility buses, house repair services, and the Ride Partners program. The TowerCares grant helped provide transportation for Veterans to medical services and recreational activities, and also helped with respite care for the Veterans’ caregivers and family members.
2024 TowerCares Foundation Scholarships
We awarded 30 $5,000 college scholarships to an impressive group of young men and women pursuing careers in STEM fields and Foreign Language Linguistics. Here are a few of this year’s winners.

Some of the appreciative responses we received from our winners:
