WHAT IS THE BUSINESS PARTNER PROGRAM?

Did you know that our industry peers who experience a spinal cord injury can incur $5 million in health care expenses over their lifetime?

Driven by the mission that people aren’t defined by their disabilities, the Joseph Groh Foundation is dedicated to assisting those living with life altering disabilities in the contracting and construction trades.

We are the only volunteer-led foundation specifically dedicated to individuals in the contracting and construction trades industry, and we are powered entirely by volunteers. To extend our impact, we’re asking you to become a Joseph Groh Foundation Business Partner today.

The Joseph Groh Foundation Business Partner program offers infinite ways that our business partners can give back to our industry in an impactful way. From self-led volunteer days to employer match programs, cause marketing or giving for a legacy, your sponsorship will support the individuals who drive our industry forward every day.

WHY SHOULD I BECOME A JGF BUSINESS PARTNER?

Disability knows no age, gender, race or creed. We live in a world where the need always outweighs the availability of help.

Imagine having to shower outside, sleep every night in a wheelchair, having to take an ambulance to a doctor’s visit or not being able to attend your child’s events. These are real stories from real people. Simply put, we’re here when there’s nowhere to turn.

How do we know? We’re a family affair: the Joseph Groh Foundation was founded and is staffed by industry friends and a multi-generational family in the construction trades who has their own experience with disabilities. Just ask Joe.

We are the only foundation specifically dedicated to the contracting and construction trades industry.
Our industry is our family. Join us by becoming a Business Partner today.
