2025 Report to the Industry

Charlie Dilks

C H AI R M A N O F T H E BO A RD

The FCIF continues to provide meaningful assistance to those in need across the floor covering industry. Throughout 2025, our board continued its long-standing compassionate approach to grant distribution, remaining committed to delivering support where it is needed most. We are also expanding awareness efforts to ensure more industry families know help is available. Once again, our fund raising goals were met as donations large and small were received from industry manufacturers, distributors, technology providers, as well as individuals.

In addition, the Alan Greenberg Golf Tournament, organized by CCA Global Partners for the benefit of the FCIF, was again a soldout event! During 2025, we expanded the FCIF Board of Directors to 33 members. Our board and its committees have been actively engaged in strengthening and enhancing the work of the Foundation, and we are grateful for their continued leadership, participation, and commitment. In 2026, we will focus on further increasing the Foundation’s reach and visibility. While fundraising remains a priority, ensuring that those in need receive timely assistance remains at the heart of everything we do.

Please help us spread the word.

Andrea Blackbourn E XECUTIVE DIREC TO R

This year, the Floor Covering Industry Foundation provided critical financial assistance to 41 families facing life-altering illnesses, injuries, and disabilities, bringing the total number of families served to more than 1,440 since 2003. Many of those we served were battling cancer, orthopedic conditions, and neurological disorders, often while unable to work and struggling to cover basic expenses. Through the generosity of our supporters, FCIF funded essential needs including medical care, rent and mortgage payments, and utilities, helping families remain in their homes and continue treatment.

Beyond financial support, we continue to provide compassionate case management by connecting grantees to support groups, nonprofit resources, hospital assistance programs, and budgeting tools, along with a caring voice on the other end of the phone when it is needed most. Our 2025 operational revenue reached $870,000, driven by a record-breaking annual campaign and sustained, long-standing support from WFCA and the CCA Global Partners golf event. Every dollar reflects this industry’s commitment to take care of its own. This is the power of our community–showing up with compassion, acting with purpose, and ensuring no one faces hardship alone.

FCIF’s Mission The Floor Covering Industry Foundation helps families get back on their feet when battling catastrophic injuries, severe disabilities, or other life-altering illnesses. The 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit assists those who have worked in the floor covering industry by providing direct grants for medical care and other basic needs.

History of FCIF In 1980, the President of the Carpet & Rug Institute had been traveling for business and suffered a debilitating stroke. Leaders in the flooring industry wanted a way to help provide for him and his young bride who were new to Dalton, Georgia and just getting started. From this spark of compassion, the Floor Covering Industry Foundation was knit.

The Floor Covering Industry Foundation was chartered in 1981 in Washington D.C., and the Foundation has found homes in Chicago, Illinois and then Anaheim, California, before making the journey back to the East Coast in 2016 to its current home in the Carpet Capital of the World - Dalton, Georgia.

“I received a grant from the FCIF. I was debilitated by a brain stem stroke that forever knocked my entire life off its axis. FCIF helps with my medical bills and its support makes it possible for me to live at home with my family...No words can tell you what that means to my quality of life and personal dignity.”

- Mr. Eldredge, FCIF’s 1st recipient,

To provide a way for individuals and companies to provide direct financial assistance to individuals in the industry who were experiencing catastrophic illness, injuries, or living with lifealtering disabilities.

FCIF has been so generous in helping us meet Lukas’ needs and secure a safe, appropriate adaptive bike so he can continue riding with his friends and pushing forward.

- PEGGY, L UK AS ’ MOM

Meet Lukas G RA N T E E Born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus, Lukas faced serious medical challenges from the very beginning of his life. These conditions affect mobility and require ongoing medical care.

He underwent his first surgery just 25 hours after he was born.

Since that moment, Lukas’ life has been marked by extraordinary resilience. Over the years, he has undergone more than 13 surgeries and continues to face ongoing therapies and daily medical challenges with courage and determination.

For 26 years, Lukas’ father has dedicated his career to the flooring industry as a predictive reliability technician in Georgia, working hard to support his family while helping Lukas navigate his medical journey. Through the support of the Floor Covering Industry Foundation, their family received a grant to help cover essential monthly utilities and provide Lukas with a custom adaptive bike.

With his adaptive bike, Lukas can safely ride with his friends and experience not just greater mobility, but independence and confidence.

Max Holland B O AR D M EM B ER FEI Group

My commitment to the FCIF began early in my career, but it truly took shape after witnessing the passion of leaders like Keith Campbell and my late friend and mentor, Dave Ghesling. Serving on the Board since 2021 has been a profound honor.

The FCIF plays a critical role in supporting industry families during their most challenging moments, and I’m inspired by our efforts to expand awareness and reach. I encourage anyone who cares about people and our industry to get involved.

Lisa Browning B O AR D M EM B E R National Floorcovering Alliance

The Floor Covering Industry Foundation is a powerful reminder that our industry is more than business, it’s a community.

FCIF brings compassion, stability, and hope to flooring families.

Raymond Mancini B OARD MEMBER UCX

I am so proud of the organization, whose sole purpose is to help flooring people in need. It is a great way of giving back to the floor covering community in which I have been associated for 25+ years. The board members are all longtime flooring people, and I am so grateful to be working with them to help the organization be successful. It is truly inspiring to see so many people giving back to the flooring industry, in which we all made a career. The commitment is very rewarding.

Carole Cross B OARD MEMBER SamplesApp

For over 25 years, the floor covering industry has supported my friends, my family, and me through every stage of my career—including building and selling our family business. Supporting FCIF feels like the perfect way to give back to an industry that has given so much to me, and to help ensure others in this community receive the care and support they need.

Charlie Dilks Inducted into WFCA Hall of Fame F CIF BOARD CHAIR

With a remarkable 47 years in flooring, Charlie Dilks continues to leave an indelible mark on every facet of the flooring industry. He began by managing a 60-store retail chain in Canada before moving on to key leadership roles at Shaw Industries. In 1997, Dilks joined CCA Global Partners, where he now serves as Chief Product Officer. His collaborative work with major U.S. and international suppliers has led to innovative product lines and strategic programs that empower independent dealers in today’s competitive market.

Dilks’ impact extends well beyond business. An early supporter of the Tunnel to Towers (T2T) Foundation, he mobilized Carpet One Floor & Home stores nationwide to host local run/walk events raising essential funds for injured veterans and first responders.

As co-founder of the Alan Greenberg Memorial Golf Tournament—a tradition spanning over 20 years—Dilks has united industry leaders to support the Floor Covering Industry Foundation (FCIF). Now serving as Chairman of the FCIF Board and having recently acted as Master of Ceremonies for the FCIF Gala in New York City, his leadership has helped raise millions of dollars for flooring professionals facing critical challenges.

Charlie’s steadfast commitment to helping others defines him as both a colleague and leader. His integrity, fairness, and tireless advocacy for retailers are precisely what our Hall of Fame celebrates.

To meet growing demand and ensure long-term stability, FCIF is launching The Forever Fund — a permanently restricted endowment designed to provide predictable, lasting support for generations to come. The Forever Fund strengthens FCIF with a more traditional foundation model, building long-term resources through major and legacy gifts rather than relying solely on annual giving.

The Forever Fund endowment will: • Provide reliable, sustainable funding for families in crisis • Protect the mission through economic and industry changes • Ensure immediate help when it is needed most • Offer meaningful legacy opportunities for industry leaders

THANK YOU

to the following for making planned and endowed gifts: William A. Gold Endowment Laurence & Robin Nagle Charitable Remainder Trust
