MITER Foundation, the charitable arm of MITER Brands, a residential window and door manufacturer, recently announced it is deepening its philanthropic impact in 2026 with the renewal of two partnerships: the Phoenix Children’s Hospital and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
The agreement with Phoenix Children’s Hospital (PCH) was signed earlier this month for a three-year commitment, with the foundation donating $250,000 annually. These contributions will help fund and support Camp Rainbow, an annual summer camp for patients of PCH who have or have had cancer or a chronic blood disorder. Every year, campers have the opportunity to enjoy fun and meaningful experiences with others in a supportive environment, including activities like ziplining, rock wall climbing, arts and crafts, canoeing, fishing, swimming, archery, and more.
In addition to monetary support, MITER Foundation will also send team member volunteers to the camp to spend time with the kids and participate in camp activities. This is the eighth year the foundation has been involved with PCH.
The foundation also renewed its commitment with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) this month for a four-year commitment, with $75,000 donated annually.
Since the partnership’s inception in 2024, MITER Foundation and AFSP have collaborated on various efforts, focusing on educating MITER Brands team members about common risk factors and warning signs of suicide, as well as providing guidance on how to keep themselves and others safe.
In 2025, MITER Brands used its Hegins, Pa., plant as a pilot location to introduce AFSP’s Talk Saves Lives (TSL) program. As part of the TSL program, AFSP, together with MITER Foundation representatives, hosted training sessions for MITER Brands team members to foster a proactive workplace culture around mental health. TSL uses healing conversations, engagement opportunities, and other resources to provide participants with a better understanding of this leading cause of death, including the most up-to-date research on suicide prevention, and how individuals can take action in their communities to save lives.
Over the next four years, MITER Foundation plans to heavily focus on introducing the training program at its remaining MITER Brands locations across the country — effectively reaching 9,000 team members nationwide
“The MITER Foundation was founded on a belief that we all share a responsibility to support our community,” said Anthony Kassab, Executive Committee Chair, MITER Foundation. “By renewing these partnerships, we’re not only furthering our philanthropic impact in areas where compassion and action matter most, but we’re also supporting children and families facing cancer, and advancing critical efforts to prevent suicide. As an organization, we remain committed to showing up for communities we serve in meaningful, lasting ways, and these partnerships are prime examples of that.”
