Partners9/11 Organizations
 The Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund (cantorrelief.org) was established on September 14, 2001 as a result of the tragedy at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The goal of the fund is to provide direct assistance to those who lost loved ones in the tragedy. 100% of the money donated to the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund is disbursed directly to the families and loved ones. Since its establishment, Cantor Fitzgerald and the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund have provided approximately $120 million in financial support for the families and loved ones of the 658 victims. Please consider making a donation to help assist the over 800 families and 950 children from 12 companies, who receive support from the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund.  The Coalition of 9/11 Families (http://www.coalitionof911families.org/) is a coalition of seven family groups representing thousands of family members, survivors and rescue workers. It's membership includes: 9/11 Widows and Victims' Families Association; Campaign For Skyscraper Safety; St. Clare's WTC Outreach Committee; Tuesday's Children, Voices of September 11th and WTC United Family Group. The Coalition of 9/11 Families has been and will continue to advocate for our heroes' families, survivors and recovery workers on all matters related to the September 11th tragedy.  Families of September 11 (www.familiesofseptember11.org) was founded by families of those who died in the September 11 terrorist attacks. Membership is open to the families of victims of 9/11 and the related anthrax attacks as well as surviving victims. Other families affected by related acts of terrorism, as well as survivors, witnesses and others interested in advancing FOS11's goals may join as associate members. We promote the interests of the victims' families, particularly extended and geographically isolated family members, who may need counseling, information, connection, or other services. They also support public policies that focus on prevention of and response to terrorism and advocate for public awareness of the effects of public trauma on victims, their families, citizens and especially our children. Their funding goes to support initiatives, programs and surveys connected with its mission and goals and especially to support their expanding web outreach to members in 47 states and 12 countries.  September's Mission (www.septembersmission.org). September's Mission is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization devoted to building a positive and meaningful legacy out of the events surrounding 9/11. In January 2004, September's Mission received the support of New York Governor George Pataki and the LMDC for the 9/11 Campaign. The 9/11 Campaign is a grassroots fundraising effort started by September's Mission and the victims' families who are committed to the future memorial at the World Trade Center site. Money raised through the Campaign will support an endowment fund; the purpose of which is to support educational and cultural programming at the future memorial. The beauty of an endowment fund is it provides stabile annual funding for programs through the interest generated on the principal donations. This means that long after we're gone, a stable source of funding will be in place to fund educational and cultural programs. The Living Memorial - a project of September's Mission in partnership with Pace University and the New York State Museum that was recently funded by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation is an example of the types of projects and programs the 9/11 Campaign endowment fund can support. It is a first of its kind Internet-based project that will create a new paradigm for documenting and providing resources for interpreting history; reaching and teaching audiences of all ages around the world; and a critical way to promote healing with the families in the years it will take until the memorial is built and open to the public.  World Cares Center September Space (www.worldcares.org/programs/septemberspace/). World Cares Center (WCC) fosters safe and effective disaster response and resiliency in communities worldwide. WCC offers a combination of uniquee programs and collaborative partnerships through its two main programs: Disaster Preparation Trauma Mitigation and September Space. Disaster Preparation assists leaders within relief agencies, municipalities, and communities to afectively utilize the influx of citizen volunteers who spontaneously respond during emergenicies. WCC offers experience in supporting cooperation between volunteers and professional responders.

All our services are free. (www.worldcares.org)  Tuesday's Children (www.tuesdayschildren.org). To lose a parent under any circumstance is truly tragic. For the children of September 11th, the sudden and violent nature of their loss has become the overwhelming and defining characteristic of their lives. Tuesday's Children, a nonprofit family service organization founded by family and friends of September 11th victims, has made a long-term commitment to safeguard the health, happiness and future of both individual and family. With a focus on family resiliency and strength through community, Tuesday's Children, in partnership with recognized leaders in the fields of child development, family advocacy and mentoring initiatives, has developed an innovative platform of programs designed to address the ongoing needs of thousands of children coping with the worst tragedy in the history of our nation.

The organization provides a wide-range of community-based services, programs and special events including support groups, lectures and forums. Voices acts as a clearinghouse by distributing 9/11 related information through the Voices Web site, newsletters, and mailings.
