Community Of Care
Explore our site for insights, events, and seamless ways to support individuals and families in the energy industry facing medical hardships. Your presence and participation are pivotal as we strive to make a meaningful difference.
Foundation Mission and Vision
Our mission is to make financial grants to, or on behalf of, individuals and families who have worked in the domestic energy industry and who are financially burdened by medical expenses.
In order to qualify for financial assistance, applicants must meet employment and financial criteria as established by the Foundation’s Board of Trustees. Financial grants pay for a broad range of health-related expenses that would otherwise be beyond the financial capability of the applicant. .
Assistance from the Foundation helps mitigate applicants’ stress and allow them to focus their energy on handling the difficult medical challenges they are facing.

Testimonials
From the father of an infant the Foundation helped receive a heart transplant:
“Our child would probably not be here today if it wasn’t for Carl McCain! He is 4, and doing really well!! He is going to school all day in pre-k. He really loves it! Still delayed in several areas but is in good health! … It has been a long road but again I cannot thank you and the Foundation enough for all your help!!”
From a woman we assisted with medical bills after the death of her husband:
“I don’t know how I would have made it through the financial impact of losing my husband after an illness and weeks-long hospital stay. The Foundation stepped in at a time when I felt overwhelmed, and the assistance made such a difference in our family’s finances. Thank you, you are a blessing.”
