The Tower Foundation of Manhasset, Inc. is a non-profit organization established in 1991 by members of the Manhasset community to enrich the educational experience of the students of the Manhasset schools.
The Tower Foundation was created in response to a simultaneous decline in state funding to the Manhasset school district and increase in its school age population. Its goal is to raise funds from the private sector, including individuals, families and businesses, and distribute these funds as grants to Manhasset Public Schools.
The Tower Foundation is governed by an independent board of directors selected from the manhasset community. The Board works closely with the Manhasset Board of Education and each schools administration to determine which gifts are given in order to serve the greatest number of students.
