The Lawson Family’s Philanthropy
Tom and Cathy Lawson have been passionate about giving back to their community long before the establishment of the Lawson Charitable Foundation in 2021. Their personal philanthropic efforts continue to support a wide range of causes that align with their values of empowerment, community, and positive change. The Lawson Charitable Foundation, which is entirely family-funded, serves as an extension of their giving, focusing on initiatives that create a lasting impact.
This section highlights the various projects and community efforts that Tom and Cathy Lawson continue to support personally through their partnership with the United Way of Rhode Island, in addition to the foundation’s formal grants. From campaign projects to direct community support, these ongoing contributions demonstrate the Lawson family’s unwavering dedication to helping others and building a legacy of goodwill.
