Thanks to the Coverings community and the Coverings Cares program, CTEF received $5200 in 2025.

CTEF Receives $5200 Thanks to Coverings 2025 Support
Thanks to the generous support of Coverings 2025, North America’s largest tile and stone showcase, and its attendees and exhibitors, the Ceramic Tile Education Foundation (CTEF) has received $5200 for ceramic tile education programming.
The $5200 consisted of donations from Coverings exhibitors and donations made through Coverings Cares.
Coverings Cares, launched in 2024, is a Coverings initiative that supports the tile and stone industry, green initiatives, and the local community hosting the show with $20,000. For 2025, Coverings identified the following six non-profit charitable organizations recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as being tax-exempt by virtue of their charitable activities:
During the Coverings 2025 registration process, attendees had the option to donate to one of those charities. To enhance the impact, Coverings matched every dollar donated, up to a total of $20,000.
“CTEF deeply appreciates the strong support it receives from the Coverings community, exhibitors, and show attendees, not to mention the Coverings Cares program,” says Brad Denny, CTEF Executive Director. “Coverings truly has a 365-day influence on the tile industry.”
