The Joseph S. Groh foundation is dedicated to providing financial support to those connected with the construction trades industry (plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing etc.) who are living with life altering injuries or illness. We have been in operation since 2009 and have assisted 23 people in 9 different states. This 501(c)(3) tax-deductible foundation is Joe's way of giving back to the construction trades industry. The foundation is a Gold Guide Star non-profit organization and we currently have no paid staff. Direct and overhead expenses are minimized, so more of the funds provided by our generous donors go to grant recipients. Our vision includes the following three goals: To serve as a clearinghouse of information for those with spinal cord injuries and other disabilities To encourage companies to offer and employees to purchase short and long-term disability insurance To financially assist those in the construction trades industries or their family members who are living with a life altering injury or illness.
