Craftsmen Cares Foundation

Charitable assistance: the Foundation is dedicated to giving back with a special focus on helping underprivileged children & families in need. Extensions of this assistance are embodied through our programming: "readers are leaders" strives to increase the reading skills of students through the donation of books and rewards students for reading. Our first year resulted in 25,000 books being read. "pedal to perfection" rewards students meeting the perfect attendance challenge at school with a bicycle. Perfect attendance went from 3 to 43 in the first year! "wreaths across america" began in 2019 to lay wreaths at jefferson barracks national cemetery, rock island national cemetery and Missouri state national cemetery. We are proud to support our veterans and spread awarneess of the wreaths across america mission: remember, honor, teach.grant programs do not meet the "significant involvement" requirments, thus are not included as direct expenses, overhead allocated: $12,523
