A LETTER FROM TMS FOUNDATION LEADERSHIP

ABSTRACT

In the last two years, the TMS Foundation has weathered an unimaginable storm along with the rest of the world. The uncertainty that came with the COVID-19 pandemic left many feeling vulnerable, yet the TMS Foundation has endured these global economic challenges and come out stronger. This perseverance is best demonstrated by the generosity of their donors. In 2021, a total of 348 individuals raised $168,048 to increase awards for early career professionals, expand the TMS Family Care Grants program, and reinstate the Presidential Scholarship. Sixty of those donors joined the TMS Foundation family with their first gift. During the 2021 year-end appeal campaign alone, which ran from October through the end of December, a total of $79,924 was raised for a stronger future. Overall, support for the TMS technical division scholarships as well as the Young Leaders Professional Development Awards grew, along with unrestricted donations to the Foundation. And 2021 saw an increase of 56 donors from 2020.
