The Space Shuttle Children's Trust Fund
The Space Shuttle Children's Trust Fund was founded on the day after the Space Shuttle Challenger tragedy in 1986, with the full support of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Since 1986, the Fund has served as a provider of health, education, and related support for these children, almost all of whom are now college graduates. The directors of the Fund wish to express their sorrow at the Space Shuttle Columbia tragedy and their readiness to help the families and children of those brave astronauts who perished exploring the frontiers of space for the benefit of all humankind.
