Natural Stone Foundation
The charitable arm of our association makes it easy for companies and individuals to give back to the stone industry. Donations to this 501(c)3 charity create, fund, and support programs to provide education to the architecture and design community, consumers, and industry professionals about the features and benefits of natural stone.
R.I.S.E.
The Natural Stone Institute is proud to support the Gary Sinise Foundation’s R.I.S.E. program, which provides specially adapted smart homes to severely wounded veterans and their families. Members are generously supporting this effort by donating natural stone and fabrication services for each home that is constructed through this program.
