The Thornton Tomasetti Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) organization, chaired by Founding Principal Richard Tomasetti and steered by a board of governors that includes members of our staff. In 2020, the foundation granted $95,700 in scholarships and charitable contributions.

This supported students in building engineering, design and technology, as well as individuals and organizations pursuing philanthropic initiatives in these areas. Since its inception in 2008, the foundation has distributed $1,298,700 in grants and scholarships.

In 2020, the foundation awarded $45,000 to six college students through its national scholarships, the Student Innovation Fellowship, and the Technical Literacy Fellowship. Other organizations that received financial support include Bridges to Prosperity, the Engineers in Action (EIA) Bridge Program, and Engineers for a Sustainable World.
