ABOUT THE FCIF
OUR MISSION
The Floor Covering Industry Foundation gets families back on their feet when battling catastrophic injuries, severe disabilities, or other life-altering medical crises. Founded in 1981 by industry leaders, the 501(c)3 charitable non-profit helps industry workers by providing direct grants for medical care and other basic needs.
IMPACT
Rising costs and expenses cause our beneficiaries to lose basic financial freedom in their time of need. Financial help is viewed as an opportunity to say “we care” to those in our floor covering industry family. Grants are awarded based on need for expenses such as medical care, medications, medical supplies, and other expenses directly related to beneficiary care such as food, shelter, and utilities.
WHO WE HAVE HELPED
Behind every assistance grant we have made is a story of crisis and perseverance—of a real person struggling through a difficult time. We are helping to keep unexpected setbacks from turning into permanent roadblocks. Visit fcif.org to learn more.
FCIF’s caring approach allows those in need to seek help with dignity and confidence. Our beneficiaries have included:
• A creeler in a flooring manufacturing plant who has invasive stage 4 breast cancer that has spread to her bones
• A flooring installer and his teenage daughter who are both battling leukemia
• A lift-truck operator who had part of his foot amputated
• A sales manager whose husband has lung cancer and a brain tumor
• A shipping clerk whose 3-year-old daughter is deaf and has developmental delays requiring special therapy

WHO WE HELP
Behind every grant is a story of a person who is fighting one of the hardest battles of their life.
MEET VIC MEET CANDACE
Family means everything to Candace as her six children are the love of her life. She was raised by her grandmother in Jamaica, and at the age of 10, Candace moved to the United States. She currently works in the flooring industry as a stacker and creeler.
Candace shared, “The Floor Covering Industry Foundation really helped my family as I was going through my cancer treatment. I truly don’t know how we would have made it without their assistance. Having cancer is an overwhelming journey, but the kindness and assistance that FCIF provided has been a blessing.”
Vic, a 37 year veteran to the flooring industry, was recently diagnosed with serious complications in his foot which caused him pain and difficulty with walking, along with neuropathy in half of his body. His diagnosis caused him to be out of work, which left his wife as the sole provider for their family. Luckily, FCIF was able to help.
Vic shared, “I am thankful for the help of the Floor Covering Industry Foundation, not only did they help get us caught up on our past due mortgage payments, but they also helped with my medical expenses that were accrued due to my medical diagnosis.”
