Our Values

We understand it's about compassion and , not money. TCF is passionate about helping others succeed in their lives and will do everything in our powers to be positive, respectful, collaborative, patient, effective and un-biased in all our efforts.

The founders of The Crane Foundation contribute a portion of their annual income while not taking any salaries for their help in growing The Crane Foundation. We do this so the highest amount possible goes to the stated purpose of helping others reach new heights so they in turn can help others.

A Different Approach

Rather than rely on others to provide support, TCF focuses on direct support providing help to others. This platform serves as reinforcement to individuals to reach greater heights and a higher degree of achievement and spirituality in their lives. We do this so they can in turn do the same for others.

However big the challenge, we as a foundation have the power to make a difference. Above all we believe in the importance of helping those to thrive so that they can do the same for others.

That's Why We Need Your Help

You could help us make a huge difference in the lives of others. By donating to TCF, you have the ability to make a difference in someone's life. There are many ways you can be part of the team and whatever you contribute, however small, will make a difference.
