The Tow Foundation

Established in 1988, The Tow Foundation is a family foundation committed to promoting access to opportunities so that all individuals and communities can thrive. Grounded in its work in Connecticut and New York, the Foundation supports nonprofit organizations and leaders to find and enact innovative solutions to persistent inequality that will result in transformative and lasting progress. To accomplish its goals, the Foundation and its staff of 14 dispersed approximately $27MM in grants in 2024 to fund efforts across its five impact areas: Equity and Justice, Medicine and Public Health, Arts and Culture, Higher Education, and Civic Engagement. The Foundation intends to make grants totaling $50MM this year.
