About the foundation
Electric lineworker is the 9th most dangerous job in America. Despite extensive safety precautions and ongoing training, sometimes the worst can happen.
The Tennessee Lineworker Lifeline Fund provides resources to lineworkers and their families following a significant injury or death.
The Foundation’s board of directors oversees the use of the funds and evaluates each request on a case-by-case basis. We hope that these funds never have to be used, but the foundation is ready to assist when they are needed.
The Foundation is funded through sales of the Powering Tennessee lineworker license plates and through donations. Support the foundation by requesting a specialty plate or making a donation today.
